Hopefully upstream will make a new tag to allow you to upgrade to it with a simpler d/copyright. Do you still want to use LGPL3+ for the debian/* work? Often it is smoother to use the same license as upstream (which is now clarified to be GPL3+) which saves you from adding another unrelated license template. I would use a block like this, inspired by the Go packaging team template: Files: debian/* Copyright: 2026 Shriram Ravindranathan <[email protected]> License: GPL-3.0+ Comment: Debian packaging is licensed under the same terms as upstream And then remove the LGPL block. /Simon Simon Josefsson <[email protected]> writes: > Great - I've uploaded to NEW via dgit push-built.
