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 inaccuracies in debian/copyright and missing metadata.

Critical Issues (Blockers)

  1. Failure to Reproduce Copyright Notices Verbatim:
    The Expat license requires that "The above copyright notice and this
    permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial
    portions of the Software." In debian/copyright, the upstream
    notice has been modified to "Juste Méthode B. cervotechit@gmail.com".
    While this might be an attempt to identify the author's legal name,
    the license mandates verbatim reproduction of the notice found in
    the source: Copyright (c) 2018 Justkey. Please update the stanza
    to match the upstream LICENSE file exactly.

  2. Incorrect Copyright Years:
    The upstream copyright year in debian/copyright is listed as 2026,
    but the source code's LICENSE file is dated 2018. The years in
    debian/copyright must accurately reflect the notices in the
    source.

  3. Missing Copyright for Test Projects:
    projects/project24/package.json identifies a different author:
    "author": "Dmitry Kirilyuk <gk.joker@gmail.com>". This file is not
    covered by the current debian/copyright stanzas. Please add a
    specific stanza for these files, again ensuring you reproduce the
    copyright notice as it appears in the source.

Required Fixes

  • Update debian/copyright to verbatim match the upstream copyright
    notices and years.
  • Add a stanza for projects/project24/* to credit Dmitry Kirilyuk.
  • Add Priority: optional to the Source stanza in debian/control
    to comply with Debian Policy 2.5.
