Hi Mechtilde, thanks for the review.

I'll try to fix the obvious issues, but I am not spending endless hours doing
things which should be automated in Debian.

What do you want to automate in Debian. Do you have a special task in mind?

 I know you're only the messenger
but really I don't see the point in redoing stuff already done by upstream.

Each time I have to deal with debian/copyright I end up hating it.

i can understand it.

But...
You are responsible whether the package meets the requirements for redistribution in Debian.

One requirement is following the licenses.


Regards,

Kind regards
