I thought you meaned you were not using the patches. Misunderstood, sorry. However, as you have dropped 4 patches from previous version, and added one, it should be logged why. Please also fix this lintian warning, as previously commented by Scott Howard: W: morse: copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file N: N: The copyright file refers to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD. Due to the N: brevity of this license, the specificity of this copy to code whose N: copyright is held by the Regents of the University of California, and N: the frequency of minor wording changes in the license, its text should N: be included in the coypright file directly rather than referencing this N: file. N: N: This file may be removed from a future version of base-files if N: references to it drop sufficiently. N: N: N: N: Severity: minor, Certainty: certain N: That is: update the license text from upstream COPYING: http://www.catb.org/~esr/morse/COPYING And remove this paragraph from debian/copyright: On Debian systems, the complete text of the BSD License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/BSD'. With this two changes done, I'll do the upload for you.
