Bug#743532: lintian: when to say: old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file



* Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>, 2014-04-04, 01:16:
License: GPL-2.0+ with incorrect FSF address, and with autoconf exception

FWIW, this line does not conform to the copyright format specification.

For me copying "license" text including some associated disclaimer exactly from the original source seems to be the right thing to do.

Indeed. But the main point of old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file is to let you know about _upstream_ problem.

FYI: This debian/copyright is autogenerated here using debmake packaging helper script.

If the copyright file was automatically generated, then there's even greater change that you didn't notice the problem yourself.
