I parsed your objection to having the copyrights on a certain
cd thus: Suppose the binary distribution no longer fots on one CD (I
think Slink would fit qualify). Now, base-files can be on one CD or
the other, depending on how things fit; and my understanding was that
this would violate your requirement that the copyright files be on
every CD.
Yes?

Well, at the moment, we do not require base-files on every CD
we produce.

I do not propose changing that.
I, in fact, even proposed that *all* cd images may have a
verbatim/main/copyrights.deb file so that we can say
a) Every Debian machine has the copyrights
b) every Debian CD has the copyrights
c) Every debian ftp Archive contains the copyrights as well.
This really should satisfy Marcus.
