Debian will also know better what licences we are distributing in main, and can possibly track issues where we are unable to ship specific derivative works.In order to truly deliver on this we'd need the entire distro to be converted to DEP5 format but elsewhere in the thread it was stated that this is not a goal.
By making it easier to handle parts of the distro we make it "more easy" to resolve licensing issues across all of the distro, no?
