Hello, Thanks for the links. The checklist in itself seems like it would fix a lot of problems. Here are some comments:
- The item "A verbatim copy of the package’s copyright information is often required to be present in /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright, too; see Copyright considerations." doesn't seem clearly actionable. It's already basically covered by "All the copyright holders found by the copyright-grep CI test are mentionned in debian/copyright.". - That requirement could be weakened: "All the copyright *notices* [not holders] found by the copyright-grep CI test are mentionned in debian/copyright except those where copyright *notices* are already installed in plain text in the binary package." (this is the issue that "often required to be present" is trying to get at -- let me know if you're not clear on what I mean). - Some items to check for preferred forms for modification would be helpful. For example if there is a .jpg with metadata saying it was exported from Photoshop, then we also need the .psd in d/missing-sources. - The grep copyright CI jobs are nice. Hopefully over time we can tweak them to exclude duplicates etc.. It can be done collaboratively so that people's efforts can be pooled. All in all, a great start to this effort. -- Sean Whitton
