Final Comment
Thanks for your diligence while working on this package. I've had a
look through the source, and while it's mostly there, I have to reject
it for now because of a few issues in the copyright and control files.
The Files: * stanza in debian/copyright contains a typo at the end
of the Copyright field: 2021-2026 Linux Mint <root@linuxmint.com>t:. Also, the full license text provided for
GPL-3 is actually the boilerplate for GPL-2 or later. Since the
package is claimed as GPL-3 and the LICENSE file is GPL-3, you should
use the correct GPL-3 boilerplate or simply refer to the common license
file.
Furthermore, the Source stanza in debian/control is missing the
Priority field (it should be optional), and the Section should
probably be admin or utils instead of misc. Finally, there is a
trailing space in the po/* stanza of debian/copyright, and the
description for libpam-fingwit has inconsistent indentation for its
bullet points.
