Bug#692946: cdd-dev: copyright file missing after upgrade (policy 12.5)
Hi Andreas,
it is true that /usr/share/doc/cdd-dev does not contain a copyright file
because it is simply a symlink to /usr/share/doc/blends-dev and the
transitional (=empty) package cdd-dev depends from blends-dev. So while
the report is correct I would consider an upload at current time simply
causing work for several people just to follow some rules with no profit
for anybody. I'd suggest to lower the priority of the bug and leave the
package as is.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
