Final Comment

The debian/copyright file claims that all files (*) are copyrighted by "2020-2025 Viktor Larsson", but the evidence shows that some files have different copyright holders:

  • ./PoseLib/solvers/relpose_8pt.h states: // Copyright (c) 2020, Pierre Moulon
  • ./PoseLib/solvers/relpose_8pt.cc states: // Copyright (c) 2020, Pierre Moulon
  • ./PoseLib/solvers/relpose_upright_planar_3pt.h states: // Copyright (c) 2020, Pierre Moulon
  • ./PoseLib/solvers/relpose_upright_planar_3pt.cc states: // Copyright (c) 2020, Pierre Moulon

You need to update debian/copyright to properly acknowledge Pierre Moulon's contributions. Please add a separate stanza for the files authored by Pierre Moulon:

Files:
 PoseLib/solvers/relpose_8pt.h
 PoseLib/solvers/relpose_8pt.cc
 PoseLib/solvers/relpose_upright_planar_3pt.h
 PoseLib/solvers/relpose_upright_planar_3pt.cc

Once you address the missing copyright attribution for Pierre Moulon's files, this package should be ready for inclusion in Debian.
