Bug#1033307: RFS: 86box/3.7.1-1 [ITP] -- An emulator for classic IBM PC clones

[sun min <sunmin89@outlook.com>]

Hi, Stephen:

Thanks for preparing this! Unfortunately it is not ready for upload.

Why did you remove most of the debian/copyright content? Please restore the
information it had previously.

The new debian/copyright file contains detailed copy info of  different source code, it becomes rather complex and need be carefully reviewed.

Almost all the warnings are addressed, especially those copyright related.

Since you’ve added a +ds suffix, I take it you’re repackaging the upstream
tarball; could you clarify what changes you’ve made to that? Are any files
removed? If so, they should be listed in debian/copyright too, in
Files-Excluded.

The +ds suffix has been removed I think it is not necessary.

I prepared a new uploading [1],  anyone interested in this package ,please help review Upload #2.

All the modifications has been synced to sala personal repo[2].

Notice: The pristine-tar branch has not been created yet.

Besides, like any other game-related emulator,this package depends on non-free roms, so another data package  need to be uploaded later.
