I get the impression from reading [1] that you should get rid of the overly verbose "This package was debianized..." stuff and (re)write it like this: Copyright YYYY-YYYY Upstream Author One YYYY Upstream Author Two ... YYYY-YYYY Previous Maintainer (previous Debian package maintainer) YYYY Current Maintainer (Debian package maintainer) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/12/msg00194.html Cheers, nate -- Nathaniel W.
