Package: strace
Version: 4.26-0.2
Severity: normal

Debian's copyright file for the strace package is significantly outdated:
 * The upstream sources are no longer available at [1], but rather
   at [2] or [3], as pointed from the project page [4] and in the README
   files[5][6].  See also [7][8].
 * The copyrightship (as outlined in COPYING[9]) after the year 2001
   has been replaced with a wildcard "Copyright (c) 2001-20xx The strace
   developers." line, with the list of developers provided in the distributed
   CREDITS[10] file and the last copyright year corresponding to the year
   of the packaged strace release.
 * The license has been changed from BSD to LGPL-2.1-or-later for the main code
   and GPL-2.0-or-later for the test suite [11].

These issues are not present in the upstream debian/copyright[12].

The aforementioned also holds for the latest strace package version, 5.10-1.
