Carl,

There are a few minor lintian issues with it:

bdefreese@bddebian3:~/debian/codeigniter$ lintian -I
/home/bdefreese/pbuild-unstable/result/codeigniter_1.7.2-1_i386.changes
I: codeigniter source: debian-watch-file-is-missing

I: libphp-codeigniter: package-contains-empty-directory
usr/share/codeigniter/system/logs/
I: libphp-codeigniter: copyright-with-old-dh-make-debian-copyright

Also, reading the debian-legal thread I don't see anywhere on there that claims
the license is OK.  From what I see they say it fails DFSG #1 and DFSG #4.

Have you tried to contact upstream for a more acceptable license?

Thanks,
