Packages with incomplete or incorrect debian/copyright information
currently would recieve a REJECT rather than acceptance. The proposal
would not change that, just turn that REJECT into a bug report, which
you could fix in a second upload to NEW and then the package would be
reprocessed and get an ACCEPT or another bug.

I think completely non-distributable software should get a bug against
the package in NEW tagged as wontfix and then the NEW package should
get removed with a REJECT mail mentioning the reason.

There may be cases where it might be possible to fix some issue with a
unredistributable file in an otherwise redistributable package, in
those cases a serious bug against the package in NEW should be filed
and the maintainer be given a chance to fix the issue.

The proposal doesn't change anything with regard to packages with
incomplete or incorrect debian/copyright information, that is a
separate issue to what this proposal aims to solve.
