Or did you mean a > statement about my copyright? What's appropriate in this case? Yes, that's what I meant. Your work in packaging has a copyright and thus needs a license. Given upstream's licensing status I recommend you go for a permissive license, to avoid the possibility that upstream+packaging is undistributable. BSD should be OK. So, something like the following, right at the end of the copyright file: Packaging is Copyright 2006 - Kasper Peeters It can be distributed under the terms of the so and so license, available at /usr/share/licences/so-and-so in a Debian system. -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28 Billboard billboard burning bright / in my windshield every night.
