Unrelated, but I am developing some kind of "lintian fatigue". People may find helpful to let Lintian warn about every little thing. Each time I have to update a package, I have new lintian notices and/or warnings. Sometimes Lintian is right, sometimes it's not. Most of the time, this is quite pointless for me. Related, this d/copyright stuff is also pointless to me (for the same reasons pointed by zigo). -- The naked truth of it is, I have no shirt. -- William Shakespeare, "Love's Labour's Lost"
