Review: dart-sass 1.105.0-1
Package Information
| Description | Dart implementation of Sass (native compiler) Sass is a stylesheet language that is compiled to CSS. It allows one to use variables, nested rules, mixins, functions and more, all with a fully CSS-compatible syntax. Dart Sass is the reference implementation of the language and the only one still maintained upstream. This package contains it as a self-contained native executable, installed as /usr/bin/dart-sass. It needs neither the Dart SDK nor Node.js at run time. The compiler also offers the generic command name /usr/bin/sass through the alternatives system, and this package provides the virtual package "sass"; see README.Debian for how that interacts with ruby-sass, which installs the same path directly. |

Final Comment
Hi,
I have accepted this, but I notice there are a raft of dart packages awaiting review, and I would recommend at least addressing #2 below for other builds.
There are attribution-accuracy problems in debian/copyright:
- Missing third-party attribution (PostCSS).
pkg/sass-parser/lib/src/stringifier.ts:7-10 explicitly states "Portions of this source file are adapted from the PostCSS codebase," © 2013 Andrey Sitnik (MIT). The Files: * stanza credits only "2016, Google Inc." and has no separate stanza for these PostCSS-derived portions. Still MIT (DFSG-free), but the copyright file fails to acknowledge a real third-party copyright holder.
- Files: debian/* stanza absent.
The packaging files' own copyright (packager) isn't attributed separately; the lone Files: * stanza technically covers them too but general practice is to include a debian/* stanza recognizing the work of the Debian packagers.
Packaging quality
Build-Depends incomplete relative to pubspec.yaml.
The pubspec declares http and typed_data as dependencies, but dart-http and dart-typed_data are missing from Build-Depends (debian/control:5-34). It currently doesn't break the build only because the compiled entry points (bin/sass.dart, lib/src/js.dart) never import package:http (used only in tool/grind/*) or typed_data. This is fragile and inconsistent; conversely dart-cli-pkg, dart-ffi, dart-fixnum are in Build-Depends though only used by dev tooling, not compiled output.
Thanks!
