License is always easy to find. Which is why I didn't mention it in my post. My only problem|question was about copyright. > There seems to be no problem with naming any obvious major contributors > (the original author of the package for example) and then adding > > 2007-2012, many Debian contributors Sounds to be fair, which "local" adaptations such as including Anton Zinoviev for all partman packages, for instance, as many scripts they use were derived from those he orignally designed...and maybe a few other "obvious" things here or there. I'll try to do that for next uploads (again: I don't intend to reupload packages for this but more use the opportunity of other uploads).
