D'oh. Knew I forgot something.
Will the packaging tools complain if you have no copyright file, too? I
know it's necessary for uploading, of course, and I'm sure lintian would
have a right whinge, but will (eg) debhelper scripts have a complain, to
your knowledge?
(I should just rename a copyright file and try it out, but I like mailing
list discussions... <grin>)
