Package: adequate
Version: 0.4.1
Severity: normal

Dear Jakub,

thanks for that nice tool.

I noticed one issue:

$ adequate --all
[...]
ilisp: missing-copyright-file /usr/share/doc/ilisp/copyright
[...]
$ adequate ilisp
ilisp: missing-copyright-file /usr/share/doc/ilisp/copyright
$ dpkg -L ilisp
/etc
/etc/ilisp
/etc/ilisp/ilisp-keybindings.el
/etc/ilisp/ilisp.el
/etc/emacs
/etc/emacs/site-start.d
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ilisp.el

So far, so good. But:

$ dpkg -l ilisp
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
rc  ilisp          5.12.0+cvs.2 all          Emacs interface to LISP implement
$ 

While it's surely true that there's no more copyright installed for
removed but still configured packages, adequate at least shouldn't
include such packages with --all.

If called with a removed package directly, it should maybe better to
warn about that fact.

P.S.: It's probably an interesting question if removed package which
still have some conffiles around should also have a copyright file
present. Probably depends on the intellectual value of the conffile.
;-)
