Package: kwalletcli
Version: 2.01-1
Hi,
I have realized kwalletcli's debian/copyright is generated at build time. While
this make the binaries packages have a proper copyright file, the source
package does not have a complete debian/copyright file.
It is not unusual checking the copyright file from the source package and
there is even people doing analysis of the licences shipped in the Debian
archive using the source packages.
I see this has been ACKed by your sponsor and asked you to explain this in the
README.source:
https://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/deb/kwalletcli/deb-kde4/README.source?rev=1.1
If you do not want to maintain 2 copies of the file, maybe you could study use
other alternative like when running your script to generate the Debian source
package, copying the information from the licence file into the
debian/copyright.
It seems easier to me than maintaining an extra README.source for you and
nicer for the rest of us :)

You can reopen it as many times as you want, it stays WONTFIX.
You said yourself that I am not violating Policy by keeping to
autogenerate the copyright file for the binary package during
package build.

I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it
when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt
