Hi, I have a doubt related to debian/copyright. In policy it is said that "Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright and distribution license in the file /usr/share/doc/package/copyright.". I've always interpreted this in the sense that every binary package must be accompanied of the verbatim copy of copyright and distribution licenses of the contents packaged in it.
Now, if a source package (orig.tar.gz) contains different material with different licenses (allowing redistribution and so), but binary packages only include part of them, is it mandatory to have in debian/copyright files in the binary .deb packages the copyright and licenses of things that are are not packaged in them, but that are distributed in the source package? More concisely, is debian/copyright supposed to include the copyright and license of the contents of the binary package in which it is contained, or the source package from which it is generated? Take into account that the source package already contains the copyright notices related to the source distribution, right as upstream have included them.
