Hi guys,

question: if I am adopting a packet, what's the procedure for altering debian/copyright (dep5)?
Since I've learned that the "Maintainer:" field is for the upstream developer, should I just "take
over" the copyright for "Files: debian/*"? What's with the licence itself, when it's Expat that
should last or could it be altered - why shouldn't?

Thanks in advance for pointers,
Daniel Stender
