Bug#712622: pu: package wv2/0.4.2.dfsg.1-9.1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: serious
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
README.Debian says that src/generator/generator_wword{6,8}.htm have been
removed from the repacked wv2_0.4.2.dfsg.1.orig.tar.bz2, but they are
still present.
These two files are based on documents copyright Microsoft. I can't see
a clear licence statement, but it seems unlikely their licence would fit
the DFSG or that talking to Microsoft would get them released under such
a licence.
README.Debian shows the intent was clearly that these files be removed.
I have uploaded 0.4.2.dfsg.2-1 to unstable and it has migrated to testing
but this issue still affects wheezy (and squeeze - I'll open a separate
bug for that proposed update in a moment).
The bug against wv2 for this issue is:

Cheers,
