That aclocal.m4 a great file to not have in the Debian source code and (as a consequence) in debian/copyright at all. Generated 12.000 lines of M4 code, what could possibly go wrong? https://salsa.debian.org/debian/courier/-/blob/master/aclocal.m4 Other than that, I think your debian/copyright snippet is a great example of how to deal with this if you can't avoid the file: list all copyright holders and mention all involved licenses using AND clause. /Simon
