See /usr/doc/copyright/GPL :-) Anyway, "proper" documentation would mention that that's not the way to make a package for the Debian distribution, more important IMHO. And anyway, that's true for every .deb. In fact, the *only* purposes of this thing are: 1. Make the dpkg system aware of the package. Among other things, enable it to remove the package. 2. Show the minimal mechanics of making a package - sort of a man page by example. MfG Kai
