Hi! I'm new to packaging, and I am currently trying to write 'd/copyright' file. I am watching some other repositories for studying the conventions. I can see that some packages have an upstream author's URL in their 'Copyright:', like 'Copyright: https://github.com/authorname'. Even though the upstream source has their explicit copyright information--like 'year name'-- in copyright file--like 'LICENSE.txt'. Now I have some questions: - Is it a one of the conventions? Can I write like that? - Why use only the author's URL instead of the author's copyright information like 'Copyright: year name <email>'? - Is there a d/copyright guideline to read? (I am currently studying with [1] [2] [3].) This might be a silly question, of newcomer (= me). Always a lot of appreciating!
