I'm in contact with the upstream author. Currently, httpry is in a pretty stable version without known bug. Last update was in last summer and it does its tasks correctly. Thus, no new version is scheduled at this moment. > I think you accidentally left an 'httpry.dirs' file in the top-level > directory this time? I left httpry.dirs in debian/ because without it the package build failed.

I update the debian/copyright to include the tcp.h specific license. I grab into the other file, I didn't notice any other license/copyright point. I checked other packages and Debian maintainer to use a best practice. Hope this ok. I hope the package [01] is cleaner :-) Thanks for your advice. Yann.
