Not necessarily so. If the number of authors is large, there is no point in copying AUTHORS into debian/copyright. Some packages of mine say in debian/copyright: Upstream Authors: Main Author and others. For details, see the AUTHORS file provided. This way, you have automatic update of the authors when updating to a new upstream version. -- Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
