Re: libsundials-dev

I've updated debian/copyright on master (on sundials.git) with some of the changes (which I did via grepping the files), but I probably haven't got everything (the licensecheck script flagged a few things I missed, which I need to check). Also, there's something odd with who owns copyright, as the main file in sundials claims it's all LLNL (ignoring ARKODE, which is its own thing), but there are some University of California notices (whether that's because someone just copypasted the BSD license stuff or it's intended is hard to tell).

Sébastien, is octave build-depending on sundials because of octave-sundials? Upstream dropped that code (there's a discussion of this on debian science in February), so if that's the reason it makes sense just to drop octave build-depends on sundials (which should make your life easier).

Thanks! I need to fix the debian/copyright and re-upload, but haven't
had the time to do it. It's on my list. If you want to do it, do go for
it. But otherwise, I'll get to it myself, hopefully soon-ish. I haven't
forgotten.

sundials.git is the correct one. I will delete the other one.
