Final Comment

Thanks for your diligence in preparing the meshy package. I've had a look
through the source and noticed a few points in debian/copyright that
could use a bit of tuning.

The LICENSE file and some translation headers use the "sesivany" alias.
Since the GPL requires the copyright notice to be reproduced verbatim,
it is important to include "sesivany" in debian/copyright exactly as it
appears in the source. You might want to list it as an alias for Jiri
Eischmann to keep things clear.

I also spotted a few translators in the po/*.po files who aren't
documented yet:

N:
W: meshy: no-manual-page [usr/bin/meshy]
N: 
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin or /usr/games should have
N:   a manual page
N:   
N:   Note that though the man program has the capability to check for several
N:   program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs should have its
N:   own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate manual page is
N:   sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as xman or tkman don't
N:   support this.
N:   
N:   If the name of the manual page differs from the binary by case, man may be
N:   able to find it anyway; however, it is still best practice to match the
N:   exact capitalization of the executable in the manual page.
N:   
N:   If the manual pages are provided by another package on which this package
N:   depends, Lintian may not be able to determine that manual pages are
N:   available. In this case, after confirming that all binaries do have manual
N:   pages after this package and its dependencies are installed, please add a
N:   Lintian override.
N: 
N:   Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N:   for details.
N: 
N:   Visibility: warning
N:   Show-Always: no
N:   Check: documentation/manual
N:   Renamed from: binary-without-manpage
