Package: ftp.debian.org

https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/libx/libxcrypt/unstable_copyright is from 2016, even though this package had the last upload on 2022-11-02.

Aha, it's probably because the source package doesn't ship debian/copyright; instead, it generates it at build time:

  $ cd libxcrypt-4.4.30/
  $ ls debian/copyright*
  debian/copyright.in
  $ grep -w copyright debian/rules | tail -n1
        cat debian/copyright.in LICENSING > debian/copyright
Eww.

Anyway, if an up-to-date copyright file is not available, I'd prefer to get 404 rather than an obsolete one.
