Bug#607929: Review of the copyright file of dimbl_0.8-1.

thanks
Dear Joost,
In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of NEW I had a look
at your package. The rationale is explained in the proposal in the following
wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview
I found a possible omission in your debian/copyright file: the copyright
holders and license of acinclude.m4 and m4/openmp.m4 are not the same as for
the rest of the package. The other m4 files also have a different copyright
homders and license, but it seems accepted to not list files that originate
from the autoconf, automake or libtool packages (although it is of course fine
to do so if you feel like). acinclude.m4 and m4/openmp.m4, on the other hand,
are independant contributions.
If you update your package, this will not change its seat number in the NEW
queue, and it may save you some time, in case the package were rejected for the
errors above.
Have a nice week-end,
