Final Comment

So the upstream code as presented contains this notice in Cargo.toml

license = "LGPL-2.1"

However, debian/copyright states:

License: LGPL-2+

This is a licensing change that upstream has not included in the 3.1 release which is packaged:
https://github.com/FineFindus/udisks-rs/commit/6359a37560f3bbeaab2b8d79ddec245cad9ec08b

This is technically a discrepancy between Debian/copyright and the source code, please do rectify this in your next upload by either packaging the most recent git snapshot or updating Debian/copyright to match the license of the source code.

This is technically a discrepancy between Debian/copyright and the source code, but it feels really technical and minor. Are we good to accept it with a comment here?
