Revision 342 of the debian/copyright file looks OK: I haven't spotted any troublesome situations. Hence, assuming that the debian/copyright file accurately corresponds to the package content (I haven't checked that!), I think everything is fine now and this bug report may be closed by the next upload of the package to sid. > > > Thanks, Thanks to you, for your time and willingness to address the issues!
