The copyright format [1] requires "public-domain" as tag. The version with spaces is not specified. > We should fix Lintian to recognize "public-domain", too. The version with spaces is just wrong, according to the copyright format description, and leads to space-in-std-shortname-in-dep5-copyright instead. Just submitted a bug [2]. Since it is one among ~350 other lintian bugs, it will probably take some time to get fixed (if ever).
