Re: Missing documentation for autoconf
What would be good would be a license field for DEB packages, as well
as being able to include packages from other repositories based on the
content of a field.
e.g.
Name: autoconf-doc
...
License: gfdl
and /etc/apt/preferences:
License: gfdl
Pin: release c=non-free
Pin-Priority: 500
I suppose debtags could do the former quite soon.
