Bug#642116: xfishtank: debian/copyright misses copyright from source
Package: xfishtank
Severity: serious
debian/copyright only lists John Bradley <bradley@trilon.com>
and Jef Poskanze, but the source also contains additional copyright
notices:
from vroot.h (used to compile the binary that ends in the package):

Additionally xfishtank.1x also claims xfishtank is:

but none of those are listed in debian/copyright...
