Hi Maytham, Thank you for your sponsorship offer!
Regarding d/copyright, I helped with a dozen or so uploads for kde plasma 6 during the trixie cycle, and that team told me to use the SPDX style copyright short names. It's my understanding that the tools to parse machine-readable copyright files can parse both without issue, and it's maintainer/team discretion. I don't have a personal preference but would rather know for sure than keep getting bounced back and forth depending on what DD I'm working with, you know? Is there an authoritative document somewhere that says the DEP-5 short names should always replace SPDX short names in d/copyright, or a clearer flow to choose one over the other?
The rest of the changes have been pushed to salsa. Thanks again, sney On 2026-01-08 07:34, Maytham Alsudany wrote:

Some feedback first: - d/logserver.lintian-overrides: Lintian overrides should only be used if a Lintian tag is emitted in error. Here, the spelling mistake is actually a mistake, so overriding is not necessary. - d/rules: Should use debian/clean instead of removing man/logserver.1.gz by hand. See the FILES section of the dh_clean(1) manual page for more info. - d/rules: Up to you, but you could patch CMakeLists.txt and remove LICENSE from the files installed. - d/copyright: Should be GPL-3+ rather than GPL-3.0-or-later, as per [1]. - d/copyright: Jonathan de Halleux's email address is provided ([email protected]), it should be mentioned beside their name. - d/control: One of the changes in Debian Policy 4.7.3 makes it so "Priority: optional" should not be specified anymore since that is now the default in dpkg. See [2] for more info. -- Maytham [1]: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#license-specification [2]: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#priorities
