Re: debconf and perl : how to use it ?
Hello Thank you for your answer. Alas, I read the debconf-devel man page. But today, I've found the reason. As soon as you use Debconf::Client::Confmodule, the stdout is redirected... this I didn't find anywhere in the docs. So, everything went fine except my print that where lost (I don't know where the redirection goes...) I tried a print in an open file, and it works. Hope this will be archived and help some peoples.

machine readable copyright v1 and "GPL version 2 or later"
Hello, in one of my packages I have multiple files paragraphs with license GPL-2+, at the end I have a standalone license paragraph labeled GPL-2, this generates a lintian warning about missing license paragraph GPL-2+. Shouldn't lintian ignore the +, because it only means this version or, at your choice, any later version? I think it would be wrong to label the GPL-2 license paragraph GPL-2+, because this text is the exact text of version 2, even if you can choose to use any later version. If you only have GPL-2+ files paragraphs, lintian also generates a warning about unused license paragraph: GPL-2. What if you have both GPL-2 and GPL-2+ files paragraphs?

GPL-2 and GPL-2+ are different, and in the License: section, you still need to expand the license, at least as far as the short "This program is free software..." paragraphs, and that MUST be different between GPL-2 and GPL-2+. > What if you have both GPL-2 and GPL-2+ files paragraphs?

I think in many cases, the issue is not really an "incompetent" legal department per se, but a culture of risk-avoidance combined with a legal department that doesn't really gain much either way and incompetent high-level management (in the sense that they don't spend a lot of time listening to those in the trenches).
