It's ultimately a decision of the ftp team if the package can't be in contrib. However, there is an expectation that the Debian source package contains the complete source of what you're distributing in the archive, including for contrib packages. Raphael's original message in that thread suggests that "it's just impossible to write a copyright file to document the source package". But copyright files exist to document the copyright of the *binary* packages you're distributing, so if no work was done here to generate correct copyright files, that is also a bug. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
