Bug#648387: [copyright-format] English proofreading.

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Steve,

it has been monthes that we are waiting for you to say more precisely what is
wrong with the current text.  Your comments were promised by Lars for April:

  “Steve, my co-driver, says he has a couple of issues he wants to fix before we
  are finished with DEP5. He'll write patches and submit them for discussion
  about next weekend or so.”
  
  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/04/msg00527.html

You write “I'm inclined to ignore this altogether in favor of working on the
real problems with the text.”  If I may suggest a starting point, there is
http://bugs.debian.org/609160#146

Also, Stefano asked you for a timeline on debian-project:

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2011/09/msg00028.html

You mention in http://bugs.debian.org/633797 “the list of issues that I
consider blockers”.  Please share it.

Lastly, you mention in this current thread: “I don't think I'm going to merge
this into the dep repo”.  If you mean to fork the latest draft that is developed
in the debian-policy Git repository, I ask you do reconsider.

In any case, your comments and patches are welcome.  But I find it unacceptable
to constantly push the emergency stop button without precise justification.
