Huh. This is slightly surprising to me, I thought binaries always need a license attached too. But now that I think about it, indeed I don't even know how I would get a license "label" for a random binary .deb...

Presumably that should yield the same result. Either way I'll add some extra comments/docs. Cheers, -David
