Final Comment

This looks good. I will accept, but I would ask you to look at whether those versioned
dependencies in debian/control are really necessary. In the debian/copyright file it
seems that licenscheck thinks HPND-sell-variant~and/or~NTP~disclaimer should
be HPND-sell-variant and/or NTP~disclaimer. It's a pedantic wee tool, some might say!

Thanks,
