Hi Michael, sorry for the long silence. The change of the name of the binary package requires passing the Debian new queue including a new inspection of the copyright of all files. This leaded to a rejection of the package as you can read here:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-phototools-devel/2025-April/017619.html I wonder whether you see some chance to strip those files mentioned in doc/copyright which are licensed as Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 3.0 Unported The "Non Commercial" is a restriction which is considered non-free in Debian so we can't distribute the source as is. If you consider this not a good option for your end users I could strip down the tarball for Debian to drop these files (which will hopefully not influence the functionality of the software itself). I just wanted to tell let you know since it would be preferable to have the same tarball in Debian as it is provided from your site. Kind regards and thanks a lot for your cooperation Andreas.
