It would be missing an image and a CSS stylesheet, if I understand correctly. On some systems with a dial-up-on-demand Internet link, it could even unexpectedly trigger a (more or less) costly dial-up connection, when a user is just browsing what he/she thinks is an HTML manual included in an installed package... but anyway... > > > The debian/copyright file still seems to need an update, though. > Now I am confused, please submit a patch to explain the deficiency in > the *package* as I can not find one. I am talking about the debian/copyright file in the Debian package: http://live.debian.net/gitweb?p=live-manual.git;a=blob;f=debian/copyright;h=653c931274967b2b68d3f3fefe5006de3762ecda;hb=30f57268ba82463e46f9627a687c6c0603918677 It seems to still includes entries for html/image.png and html/stylesheet.css : you claim that those two non-free files are no longer included in the Debian package. If they have been indeed removed from the Debian package (both source and binary), then they should no longer be mentioned in the debian/copyright file: their entries should be dropped. I can describe the patch in words: remove everything from the debian/copyright file, starting from line 44 up to the end of the file... However, I still think that the best way to fix the bug is replacing the non-free logo with the DFSG-free one (the swirl without the word "Debian") and getting the stylesheet re-licensed or dual-licensed in a DFSG-free manner (as I suggested in my original bug report). -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
