Hmm how about this: The license of Python 2.0 contains a spelling mistake,
for which I alway get lintian errors. Nevertheless, I don't like to modify
the text of the license just to make lintian happy. OTOH, it certainly
doesn't rectify a wishlist bug against lintian to exclude the copyright file
of python2...
Now will you reject all python2 uploads ? ;-)
