Dear mentors,

   Section         : net

It builds those binary packages:

  pmacct - promiscuous mode traffic accountant

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

     and Repository-Browse
   * d/copyright:
     - Update copyright year
     - Update copyright license
   * d/pmacct.maintscript: Place dpkg-maintscript-helper script in this
file,
     drop d/pmacct.post* and d/pmacct.pre* files


The file d/pmacct.maintscript might be dropped, I guess it's unlikely
that someone does an upgrade from before Debian 8. Also, the examples is
causing some trouble, causing two errors with lintian. Not sure what to
do about that.
I pushed the changes to my salsa repository,
https://salsa.debian.org/haava/pmacct
If this gets sponsored it would be nice if these changes could be pushed
to the original repository.


Regards,
Håvard
