Dear Stable Release Managers:
In base-files 14.1, new common licenses were added to common-licenses, and
there was a suggestion to do the same in trixie for the next point release.
The idea is that packages which start to refer to the new licenses in forky/sid
would not have to undo those changes if the package is backported for trixie.
(In forky/sid, we can assume that there is already compliance because the
updated base-files is already in forky/sid).
The attached debdiff is what I would upload if this change is approved.
(Note that for this debdiff only, I've cut the *new* licenses to the first 10
lines
to avoid the debdiff to become too much noisy).
In this case, I've not uploaded the package yet and will wait for approval.
(If there is not approval, I would upload the usual base-files update, as
always).
Thanks.
