In an ideal world, it would be trivial to write a Debian copyright file
because the upstream sources would already contain a perfect
documentation of all the copyright and license notices. The work that is
made in Debian can be made more widely useful if forwarded and accepted
upstream; this is also an area where anybody can help.
- -- Add help Debian forward copyright notices upstream, this is
non-technical work... Could even be done by a "Net-New" User?
