Joey,
Sorry yes I did not mean to imply that there was a copyright issue
with the inclusion of debhelper fragments in maintenance scripts, just
an example of techincally it might happen. The policy explicitly
mentions "incorporating source code".
I used the word "techincally" and added the rider "although this may
not be needed to solve the original issue.". I only meant it as an
example of how source code copying could trigger it. I don't think the
automated part can take a view on the copyright issues.
For a more copyright-heavy example, see how "handlersocket" is built
using mysql-source-5.5. I didn't want to use that example partly
because I am unhappy with that example and I would not want to
advocate it.
I really just wanted to know what the plans were for supporting the
"Built-USing" clause. So far most people I have spoken to seem unaware
that there is an issue which made me feel I had to put a proposal
together.
