Hi Erich,

I spent loads of time last weekend working on Carla. Trying to add all
the copyright notices for all the embedded software took by far the
longest. There were some strange warnings which I ran out of time to dig
into.

One was about a missing dependency on python. The correct way to fix
this is to build with dh-python (pybuild) and put a ${python3:Depends}
in debian/control so that python is added automatically as a dependency.
But this builds a whole heap of cython files that I wasn't too sure
about, so I dropped it until I had more time to investigate.

The other was a warning about an empty package which sounded a bit serious.

I will keep working on Carla, and then move on to the others.

It looks like there are some serious archive issues at the moment
(including serious bugs that require a new round of testing for the
Xenial ISO, and a glibc tranistion - which is now the new thing holding
up the fixed lmms by the way). These things normally keep potential
sponsors busy, and it is normal for stuff to be uploaded right up to the
release.

You are doing the right thing in keeping the bugs up to date, and
letting the developer mailing lists know we need help.

Regards,

Ross
