Ack. Manually keeping it up to date is not realistically going to be precise (I've seen to many grossly out of date copyright files for large packages), so I wrote a script [1] to generate debian/copyright from a .template and machine-inspecting bower_components/* and parsing out licenses and copyrights from those. It still requires some manual cleanup afterwards [2], but provides a good basis. So this is meant to run manually for a new upstream release, so I refrained from calling it during package build. Unfortunately I uploaded a package without the manual cleanup of the copyright file [2], so can you please reject the current upload and I upload the right one? Thanks, and sorry for the trouble, Pitti [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/cockpit.git/commit/?id=e9eb287b1a [2] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/cockpit.git/commit/?id=13f2400074
