Hi Hugh, Adrian,
Thank you for the detailed review and the copyright patch!
I have addressed all the feedback and successfully updated the packaging:
1. Fixed the syntax and line breaks in debian/watch to fully comply with
format version 5.
2. Applied your debian/copyright patch to group files with identical
authors and licenses, while retaining the contact emails for the
third-party authors as shown in the diff.
3. Consolidated all recent changes into a single clean '1.8.5-2'
changelog entry.
As requested, I've cleared the old intermediate uploads on
mentors.debian.net and uploaded the fresh 1.8.5-2 source package.
Ready for your sponsorship!
Best regards,
Mikhail
