Why is a machine-readable debian/copyright (DEP5, accepted) mixed with debian/upstream/metadata (DEP12, just a draft) here? debian/upstream/metadata is completely optional. This draft has not even been accepted yet. I see heavy issues making this mandatory. It contains almost only non-packaging relevant information, which is not really necessary to provide that package. And the data contained can change at any time. But if we don't ship the projects license(s) files, debian/copyright IS mandatory. JFTR: I don't understand why a formalized format of debian/copyright is that hard to realize. Regards, Daniel
