It is discouraged to intermingle debian and upstream changes. Also, it is
discouraged to have the complete upstream git history in the salsa repo (see
your debian branch). I have created a master and an upstream branch that you
can use with git-buildpackage going forward. You can drop the debian branch.
Please use the same email address in d/changelog and in d/control (Maintainer)
else you get those lintian warnings about an NMU happening.
Please read the thread in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2017/08/msg00000.html and find out if you
were right about Project Gutenberg license (I have not yet read it). Maybe
there are other Debian threads about it.
Regarding the license.
According to the thread you mention, the Gutenberg Project license fails the
DFSG, so my assumption was wrong.
At the same time, according to the license there are no restrictions to
distributing the ebooks if the Project Gutenberg license and all references to
Project Gutenberg are removed from distributed material. This is confirmed by
the thread in legal list.
There are three ebook samples in source tarball that were downloaded from
Project Gutenberg website. One of the samples was later modified, so that there
are no references to Project Gutenberg. The other ones have reference to the
Project inside the ebook.
To comply with DFSG I will remove the Project Gutenberg license from
d/copyright, so that the Project Gutenberg trademark is not used anywhere.
I will also remove two of the samples. The ones that still have references to
the Project in ebook text.
This means a repack of the upstream sources. Please make yourself
familiar with how to handle that in the d/copyright file with
Files-Excluded and in the d/watch file (man uscan). You want to have a
+dfsg repack suffix.
