Bug#1067589: elpa-dpkg-dev-el: Please improve syntax highlighting of d/copyright
Package: elpa-dpkg-dev-el
Version: 37.11
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: niels@thykier.net
The `debian-copyright-mode` currently feels a bit lacking when it comes
to syntax highlighting:
1) There is a URL highlighting, but it does not cover http**s**. Only
ftp/http URLs change color. Given most URLs these days are https,
this feels sub-optimal to me.
2) There is (almost) no syntax highlighting of the fields at all.
`Copyright:` as the only thing will be highlighted, but only if
it is at the start of the line and it is the **only** thing on
the line. Please highlight other DEP-5 fields and also highlight
non-empty fields!
Best regards,
Niels
