Will the packaging tools complain if you have no copyright file, too? I
know it's necessary for uploading, of course, and I'm sure lintian would
have a right whinge, but will (eg) debhelper scripts have a complain, to
your knowledge?
Nope. Neither dpkg-* nor debhelper will complain. (Tried

Hi all,
I am preparing new Debian packages for CMS Midgard.

with debconf and dpkg instead of writing one config and postinst
for setup and updates and another one tools for managing existing
ones in a future. So simply I would like

python-albatross package. So far, I've been contacted by one developer
