I had a look at libticables uploaded to mentors on 2012-08-05 10:02.  Detailed
information on how the repackaged source was obtained, and on how this can be
reproduced should be provided in debian/copyright.

I had a look at libticonv uploaded to mentors on 2012-08-05 10:02.

The change from libticonv3 to libticonv6 would break the packages currently
depending on libticonv3.

The file debian/copyright is incomplete.  There are other copyright holders 
than only Romain LIEVIN and also other years than 2007.
  
I read in the file README "A special exception applies when linking the library
into TilEm, see the COPYING file for details." but I don't find such exception
in the COPYING file (it's identical to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2) nor in
debian/copyright.  Please ask upstream for clarification.
