Lintian:

P: xfce4: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
N: 
N:   The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in
N:   /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL
N:   license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the
N:   license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow
N:   relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally
N:   consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under
N:   later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally
N:   better to point to the version of the license the package references in
N:   its license statement.
N:   
N:   For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it
N:   and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
N:   published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your
N:   option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to
N:   /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL.
N:   
N:   For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the
N:   GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1.

N:
P: xfce4 source: no-dep5-copyright [debian/copyright]
N: 
N:   This package does not use a machine-readable debian/copyright file.
N:   
N:   This format makes it easier to review licenses and can be easily parsed by
N:   Lintian.
N: 
N:   Please refer to
N:   https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ for
N:   details.

I: Lintian run was successful.

Test 7 (licenserecon): Information only

Not DEP-5

Summary
=======

Tagged as 'confirmed' after seeing -devel list discussion.

The next upload of this package really needs to fix the 'debian/copyright' file.
