I wasn't aware of licensecheck yet, but good to know there is such a
useful tool. I'll have to re-check my other packages...
Some Google searches determined that the author apparently wants to be
known only under his/her alias, so I used that information in
debian/copyright.

Upstream Makefile.{am,in} contain references to the libfann2-dev
package. They don't affect our build process in any way, so they could
be safely changed.
I'd prefer libfann-dev too, but didn't want to deviate from upstream too
much. If you think it's safe to change, I'll do it.

I actually made such a tree (my first encounter with CVS - what a pain),
but wasn't satisfied with the results.
I do plan on importing the entire tree. There's a gsoc2007 branch which
added some fresh development and features I'm interested in long-term,
but didn't play around with cvsimport long enough how to get those
changes in my tree.

Great, I'll try it out!
The changes were applied to git, I'll wait with rebuilding/uploading the
source package for your opinion on libfann?-dev.
Thanks again,
Christian
