For example the GNU "COPYING" document contains exactly the same sentence. Specifically, at the top of the file /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL we find. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. The file "copying.dj" is DJ Delorie's copyright license document so it *can* insist that it be distributed verbatim. I would rather not repack the tarball unless it is absolutely necessary. > * Remove the blank line from debian/docs. Done. Thanks and regards, Kapil. --
