If "original" means "upstream of Debian" (i.e., "where does this code originate from?"), then it gives exactly that. As you might have guessed by now, I think that until a README format or something similar gets standardized, we should just clarify policy to require a upstream contact in debian/copyright. I don't think documenting who wrote the first line of code is valuable. Thanks, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
