The jQuery bundled copy is explicitly removed during the source re-pack. Is there still jQuery code somewhere in the Debian source package, that I'm not seeing? I assume, in the rest of my reply, that you're not actually talking about jQuery code. The source does include these bundled library files, with names that confusingly have ‘jquery’ in the name: * jquery.hotkeys.js * jquery.isonscreen.js The copyright information for those is not recorded in the Debian source package, so I am confirming this bug report. > (This is not exhaustive so please check over the entire package > carefully and address these on your next upload.) I have looked through the source package, and AFAICT the above files are the only ones not covered by the existing copyright documentation in ‘debian/copyright’. Those files mentioned above, are also not used. They have no DFSG problems so I just left them in the source package. That is a mistake, and this bug report remains valid. To make the copyright information accurate for the source package, my current preference is to just remove those unused from the Debian source package. This would change the basis for re-packing, because for these files it's not to avoid DFSG problems, but only to avoid bothering to document copyright information for files we don't use. Is that appropriate? An alternative would be justified by seeking to minimise the changes to the pristine source. This argues to leave those files – though they are not used in building the package – in the Debian source package, and document the different copyright information.
