I disagree on that specific point. The point of sending the delta is to get said delta adopted by the Debian maintainer. Changing d/copyright is just adding friction. The best case scenario is that the maintainer wanted to do it but didn't have time, but even then it's still more effort than just keeping the old format, since you don't have to review it. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
