If it's a Debian package in main, it's reasonably safe to assume that the packaging has been placed under a DFSG-free license that permits copying. For completeness, your debian/copyright file should document the copyright of the packaging itself, if it's substantial enough to warrant separate copyright. With translations, IME the accepted practice is to identify the contributors in the changelog. I'm not sure how this would mesh with translations borrowed from another package; I presume as long as the original .po source file still contains attribution, most translators are ok with this. > 3) I have the following warning during build: > dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: format of libgds.so not recognized > Should I change anything since libgds.so is not in my package? That's a rather troubling error. Does something in your package *link* to libgds.so? What does 'file' say about the format of this file, if dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't recognize it? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
