I do think that it's good practice to do that (although it does create somewhat pointless makework to update the copyright dates yearly), but if one looks around the archive, lots of people don't bother. > Anyway, I agree that the information are already there, so the proposal > is useless.

We should really deal with bug #462996, which is the broader question including things like this. I'd like to remove the reference to naming the Debian packagers separate from the copyright information as a separate change, though, unless you feel like that would put us in a situation that's worse than we're in right now. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
