Hi Ben, Thanks for your answer. It is rather the opposite. I am the upstream author of Phatch, and less of a packager. I just now enough to maintain the existing package as it is, but not to do changes to the package. So if I include the copyright file upstream, I need to know how to change the packaging. Should that be done in debian/rules? Best regards, Stani
