This is strange, these warnings are not pedantic. For me they emerge during
lintian check as a part of sbuild process.

Please let me know how my repackaging attempt went.

Did you push everything (git push --all && git push --tags)? Repackaging
should have left commits in 'upstream' and 'pristine-tar' branches, as well
as new tags. Without them my build process fail. Other than that seems fine.

I usually copy these paragraphs from my previous packages when I encounter
vanilla GPL-3 and like. Not sure about the automated solution. I'd expect

I am still working on patching a few more of the remaining test sources.

Great!

I will be on vacation for a month starting on Monday, but I will stay
