I think saw it the other day on python-virtualenv, which also filters out non-DFSG files. I don't remember seeing it on python-colorama or python-pip (which doesn't mean it didn't happen ;). It was just a warning and didn't seem to affect anything so I ignored it. Maybe I shouldn't have. Cheers, -Barry
