Review: httrack 3.49.9-1
Package Information
| Description | Copy websites to your computer (Offline browser) HTTrack is an offline browser utility, allowing you to download a World Wide website from the Internet to a local directory, building recursively all directories, getting html, images, and other files from the server to your computer. HTTrack arranges the original site's relative link-structure. Simply open a page of the "mirrored" website in your browser, and you can browse the site from link to link, as if you were viewing it online. HTTrack can also update an existing mirrored site, and resume interrupted downloads. HTTrack is fully configurable, and has an integrated help system. |

Changelog
httrack (3.49.9-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release: Content-Type and file-type detection fixes (trust a
declared Content-Type over a binary URL extension, honor --assume under the
delayed type check, keep a known extension against a bogus or empty
Content-Type, and avoid an uninitialised read on an empty Content-Type), and
restored C++ source-compatibility of the installed headers so reverse
dependencies (httraqt) build again..dsc

Final Comment
Hi,
It looks like there may be some authors not credited in debian/copyright.
If you could update the debian/copyright to DEP-5 format it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
