Package: zlib Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 12.5 Dear Mark and FTP team.
In the course of a copyright inspection before uploading a package to NEW, I realised that the zlib source directory ‘contrib’ contained copyright statements that are not reported in debian/copyright. One of my packages – velvet – contains a convenience copy of zlib for users of other operating systems and I also overlooked the contrib directory there, therefore I am opening this bug on zlib to find the best way to correct its Debian copyright declaration, so that this package's debian/copyright can be used as a template for other packages that ship a convenience copy. Would it be acceptable to simply quote README.contrib (patch attached), or is a more detailed description needed? Once a solution is found for zlib, I will paste the results in velvet.
