Thanks for your interest and advice. I was hoping to get away with the
'new maintainer' bugfix but agree that now is a good time to get the
package into some kind of shape.
I followed the advice given here in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/12/msg00194.html for the
copyight file and so included all the copyright from the source
verbatim. Should I add the full copyright message to the existing or
replace it altogether?
Cheers
John
