Hi, I don't agree: I find it better to allow several such paragraphs, when the rationale behind removing several files differs, as in this real-life example: Removed-Files: yorick/lbfgs* Rationale: Not DFSG Those files are not used in the plug-in. They bear no clear copyright statement. Removed-Files: idl/* Rationale: Not DFSG The idl/ directory of the original source contains files meant for building a plugin for a commercial product. These files are not used in the Debian package and some have a dubious copyright statement, presumably non-DFSG. http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/y/yorick-optimpack/yorick-optimpack_1.3.1+dfsg1-1/yorick-optimpack.copyright Of course this goes together with the idea of documenting the rationale behind removing a file. As exemplified, the Rationale would have a short and a long escription. The short description should be standardized with a few typical values: Not DFSG Big but not used other purely for statistical purposes. Not sure whether that's useful. Kind regards, Thibaut. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJQ9qnEAAoJEJOUU0jg3ChAvf4P/ioOBsnZPzI2lLf/oUHMEYzT /sZoNibCCzf8cEnGsf37DNdN0mmsqN+xhriyIsLEvo6Y/5ekulfZK2pOGjgtuDdw lkyaDyeOAKhI4MD6dMd+K515ysMz6u6GuXpZKRvsl8d/dwlWFgKgIrvk+WEKWLzw VRcGFLcZJ0Cv+ZLkbLg1GpzlI7NmA335Ahv1S1znU5J6/MYCBRc9Hc2g7jZfBtm9 fyvJqhhWcSqghNSHaQKsSIBnx+soqc3ihcRa2OooPNJD2O0bgpemzWO0HhcxbqLH CmD9WABC0M0h5Lb75/lguCRy0tA9eVxiJWSbEt5D9cf0jjv8piYnY4/Gfc4Bc7et M2Pj0EnbIt6kpMHzzbEfKggsatr31qZ4So12VxNHb5LhN5irkPkvd4JO00LnUJKK ndumPQjrQaCCYZ9rNJrVgsbAsLM+DeI16sqNSblSeqGaeP/lQoNfPwr8OT1URMoh /4TQnRedGs/WXXdt3RiwxtDK0saY10FZiaEUOTgIEYi6zdFEiTPqIEF3nPyz9W+D uE9Tm4j+BvVZAaqem0vWbiM0hc5sNg1BpQP2FRjIDsSd6Xq+3nnZ6HSbBYRlTwBN GkImiw/Z2xOPaKVcvSjW8i3uoPs4WPYyA6aeN3IXN0MdcmCa7G8mIXOgT0Q5Ihrk Zsd9LoFJyKdxJ07EThd4 =LYR8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
