Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.21 Severity: important In the man pages for both dpkg-deb and dpkg-split, the following is written (minus the programm name, of course):
dpkg-deb and this manpage were written by Ian Jackson. They are Copy-
right (C) 1995-1996 by him and released under the GNU General Public
Licence; there is NO WARRANTY. See /usr/share/doc/dpkg/copyright and
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL for details.
Note the missing "2" (also "no later" clause). If this were true, the
cited document reference would be wrong and the license would be
missing from /usr/share/doc/dpkg/copyright.
I checked the sources and they claim:
* This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
* it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
* published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2,
* or (at your option) any later version.
So I assume this is an oversight in the man page (thats why I reported
it only as important). While fixing the copyright statement you might
unify the phrasing in all copyright statements in the man pages.
