Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 0.15
Severity: important
Hi!
Let me first thank you for maintaining this package in non-free,
and for moving Linux-kernel-shipped non-free firmware blobs from
the Linux kernel package to it.
IMHO, this is really the Right Thing™ to do, as it abides by
the Debian SC, keeps Debian (main) untainted by those non-free
firmware files, while making it easy to install them whenever a user
needs them for his/her hardware.
OK, that said, it seems to me that the debian/copyright file is
now outdated: it lacks a number of licenses for some recently
added firmware files (such as ATI Rage 128 and Radeon ones,
Matrox G20/G400/G550 ones, and so forth, added in version 0.15).
Please update the debian/copyright file, so that it reflects the
current content of the package.
Thanks in advance.

Policy requires a copyright file in each binary package, not in the
source package. debian/copyright is the conventional source for this
file but is not required. The copyright/licence texts for binary
packages are actually taken from the corresponding directories in the
source package.
