The value of the "License" field can't have space.
"Expat and/or Unlicense" isn't allowed; how I am supposed to express
this in the dep5 format ?

Spaces are allowed.

no they are not. Here is what Lintian as to say if I include a snippet "License: Expat and/or Unlicense" :

W: plutovg source: space-in-std-shortname-in-dep5-copyright expat and/or unlicense


As far as I understand the requirements, I need to document *copyright
holders* in d/copyright, not every single contributors.
Did I misunderstood something ?



These files are the result of bad development practice. Who knows who claims
copyright here.

well... I read this line in the files :
"Copyright (c) 2017 Sean Barrett"
The other peoples are credited above "ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTORS".
If you don't trust upstream on this, I'm sorry but what are we even trying to do with d/copyright ??

I would list all contributors, but that is me. As I said a DD
may upload for you deciding that researching correct licensing will take a great
deal of time and upload requiring the work to be done. They also may upload
deciding it maybe too much work and it can pass with primary developer being
enough in 'debian/copyright.
