Final Comment
I understand the complexity of the copyright, as expressed in debian/copyright, but
Debian standards have moved on since 2005 and now there is a copyright format which
can express that complexity. Why not, for it's 21st birthday, give it a new file?
Also, there's a number of unnecessary versioned dependencies that could be fixed at
the same time :-)
Thanks!
