Thank you. >>I did two runs of license-reconsile, after fixing the MIT/X11 license >>issue for config/install-sh. In the first run I kept the existing >>GPL-2+ designations; wc -l returned 212 lines.

Done. I did a couple of nme runs in a sid chroot, and then fixed lintian errors. It might be possible to compact the debian/copying stanza, but my goal was maximum correctness so I didn't take any risks. Lintian said that copyright entries for config/* weren't necessary. Is this true? I removed them on the assumption that they were. >>Thank you for notifying me of this Gianfranco. It also affects>oldstable and >>stable.

If successfully completing a license review/update isn't on a debian-mentorship checklist, then it really ought to be! Thank you for the opportunity to learn something of fundamental importance to the Debian-way of doing things. One more concern: E - Package closes bugs in a wrong way. Bug #801192 does not belong to this package. I know this is a "teaching moment." What is the correct way to tag #801192 (owned by btrfs-tools) so that it can be closed by btrfs-progs? I'd like to send the email to control@ myself, and I suspect this needs to be done before you upload this package. ;-) Cheers, Nicholas
