Final Comment
Hi,
There are a number of issues with the debian/copyright which need to be
resolved.
-
src/gentl/GenTL_v1_6.h is licensed under the terms of a license for which
only the "warranty" part is given in the file and in debian/copyright. While
there is a little more information in the file, it doesn't say why (or whether)
permission is granted to copy, modify, etc, etc, which is needed for this to
be included within debian/main. -
Two authors missing from debian/copyright - see Author Check note for details.
-
Lintian issues regarding debian/copyright - see Lintian note for full detail.
Thanks!

N:
N: This paragraph defines an already defined license.
N:
N: According to the specification, short license names are required to be
N: unique within a single copyright file.
N:
N: This tag could be raised by something like this:
N:
N: Files: filea ...
N: Copyright: 2009, ...
N: License: LGPL-2.1
N: This program is free software;
N: ...
N:
N: Files: fileb ...
N: Copyright: 2009, ...
N: License: LGPL-2.1
N: This program is free software;
N: ...
N:
N: In this case, you redefine LGPL-2.1 license. You should use a stand-alone
N: paragraph or merge the two files (using a single paragraph).

W: libaravis-dev: gir-package-name-does-not-match gir1.2-aravis-0.10-dev [usr/share/gir-1.0/Aravis-0.10.gir]
N:
N: Development packages that contain public GObject-Introspection XML files
N: (/usr/share/gir-1.0/Foo-23.gir or
N: /usr/lib/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/gir-1.0/Foo-23.gir) should be named
N: gir1.2-foo-23-dev if the GIR XML is the only content of the package, or
N: should have a versioned Provides for gir1.2-foo-23-dev (=
N: ${binary:Version}) if the package contains other development files.
N:
N: Since gobject-introspection 1.78.1-6 (Debian trixie), the recommended way
N: to populate the Provides fields is to use debhelper and dh_girepository,
N: via the gir addon or the dh-sequence-gir virtual package, and add
N: Provides: ${gir:Provides} to packages that contain public GIR XML.
N:
N: For example, libgtk-3-dev contains Gtk-3.0.gir, Gdk-3.0.gir and
N: GdkX11-3.0.gir, so it should have Provides: gir1.2-gtk-3.0-dev, Provides:
N: gir1.2-gdk-3.0-dev and Provides: gir1.2-gdkx11-3.0-dev.
N:
N: Please refer to usr/share/doc/gobject-introspection/policy.txt for
N: details.

W: aravis source: incomplete-creative-commons-license cc-by-sa-4.0 [debian/copyright:106]
N:
N: The package appears to be licensed under a Creative Commons license but
N: only includes the human-readable summary in the debian/copyright file
N: which is not the actual licence. The Creative Commons webpages contains
N: the following disclaimer:
N:
N: This deed highlights only some of the key features and terms of the
N: actual license. It is not a license and has no legal value. You should
N: carefully review all of the terms and conditions of the actual license
N: before using the licensed material.
N:
N: Creative Commons is not a law firm and does not provide legal
N: services. Distributing, displaying, or linking to this deed or the
N: license that it summarizes does not create a lawyer-client or any
N: other relationship.

N: Please use the full, plain-text version of the license text which may be

N:
N: The Files paragraph in the machine readable copyright file references a
N: license for which no stand-alone License paragraph exists.
N:
N: Sometimes this tag appears because of incorrect ordering. Stand-alone
N: License paragraphs must appear *after* all Files paragraphs.

W: aravis-tools: no-manual-page [usr/bin/arv-fake-gv-camera-0.10]
N:
N: Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N: a manual page
N:
N: Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N: program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N: own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N: sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N: support this.
N:
N: If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N: able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N: exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:
N: If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N: depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N: available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N: pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N: Lintian override.
N:
N: Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N: for details.

N: of the Free Software Foundation (FSF). You should refer to
N: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/ instead of a physical address, for example:

N: NAME section) is of the form:
N:
N: program - manual page for program
N:
N: This conveys no information about what the program is for and is
N: repetitive. The short description should contain brief information about
N: what the program is for to aid in searching with apropos and similar
