First (and that's why I keep -policy, and even add -doc to Cc), it might be interesting to remove the README.Debian-source suggestion in devref 6.7.8.2 and specify debian/copyright there. Second, I'm now wondering whether some modifications/additions to the copyright format proposal[1] should be done so as to make it easy to specify which files/directories were removed and for which reason (no sources, no license, unsuitable license, etc.). 1. http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
