It's depressing but it doesn't suprise me in the least. With situations like this you need to apply some common sense - if policy is telling you to do something silly then it's much more sensible to just ignore it (and even possibly work to make it more sensible) than to follow it religiously. Otherwise the result is usually that a negative impression is created of the things you're trying to improve. In any case, I'm just going to remove most of the contrib directory from the tarball. It's not shipped and it's not worthwhile spending time creating an enormous copyright file to cover code which does not even make it into the binary packages, it's more likely to confuse users about the licensing than anything else. I'm therefore removing the block on the bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
