Since there were no comments on this, can I consider the above
satisfactory?
I intent to use this in 22 hours (tomorrow evening, New York
time) to repackage 3 upstream tar balls (it's a bit of work, as
the license goes in package READMEs and documentation, as well as
in the header of each .h and .c file).
If you have more objections, please state them now.
Thank you all for your collaboration on this issue. will be
submitting bug reports on the 4 others Debian packages affected
by this issue.
