A source package is also a package, and "every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright information and distribution license (...)". http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile > > Alternatively i can remove the font file completely from the sources. > What do you prefer? When I read the reasons for repackaging the orig file, then I think that in this case the copyright and license should be added to debian/copyright, but I don't it's a big problem if you would choose to repackage the orig. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
