In the past it has been deemed acceptable that such licencing problems are considered solved when upstream clearly declared a licence change, even if updated licencing statements in the sources files have not yet permeated into all supported releases. I can therefore imagine that an upload to tpu which updates debian/copyright to state the new licence of the documentation would be enough to solve the administrative problem that this is, and doesn't require to split source packages. This is under the assumption that the existing documentation has actually been relicenced, of course it would be different if the documentation has been replaced with completely different documentation to solve the licence issue. But as far as I understand this is not the case. Cheers, Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
