Dear Vincent, and other mentors, I read in Vincent's mail WRT the "pygtkplot" package that this package should contain a debian/copyright file "using DEP-5."
I have issued a RFS for another package, which is called Fizsh (see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/08/msg00466.html). So far, no one has replied to my RFS. To be honest, I had never heard of a "DEP-5 requirement". Therefore, my package does not contain debian/copyright file using DEP-5 either. So, should I also follow the specifications in "http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5";!? Thank you in advance providing clarity!
