Package: python-debian Version: 0.1.27 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Debian standard [1] suggests that the license field in the files paragraph is required whereas when you parse it is only optional. This is sometimes causing a trouble when using the package since the user has to verify that the license object in the files paragraph is not None and thus raising AttributeError when accessing the synopsis for example. I guess the solution must not be to consider the d/copyright file as non machine readable but you might want to omit that specific paragraph and log this error.
