Well, these should be fixed upstream actually. > Building Debian binary packages does not read the file. Let's not try to distinguish these, it looks to me like it brings more overhead than good. Of course, if we have some files which pose problem, such notice can be useful to to know that perhaps we could simply drop them from upstream even. > It might be good to merge the paragraphs that list the same > licenses and the same copyright holders but different years. Yes, please. I'd even say merge copyright holders. I personally really don't want to maintain unmerged lists of holders and years, I don't see the point of doing it for Debian: what Debian cares about is licences, and crediting the people is good, but the detailed credit is not important enough to spend time on it. For now, I'll upload a very simplified version of your findings with a newer upstream snapshot, which I believe will cover ftp-master's main concerns: no GPL-2 / GPL-3 conflict any more, and doc/, pcmcia/, and xen/ licences.
