As to how to record the information, I would expect to find it in the ‘debian/copyright’ file, and I don't see what you're referring to at <URL:https://sources.debian.net/src/sympathy/1.2.1%2Bwoking%2Bcvs%2Bgit20161222/debian/copyright/>. So, if you can point to what you mean, I may be able to better respond :-) -- \ “Faith is the determination to remain ignorant in the face of | `\ all evidence that you are ignorant.” —Shaun Mason | _o__) | Ben Finney
