Let's instead repurpose this bugreport to track making _ideal_ DEP5
output with licensecheck.
What we have now is this:
licensecheck -r --merge-licenses --deb-machine --lines 0 .
The plan is to integrate these scripts:
cdbs:/usr/lib/cdbs/license-miner
cdbs:/usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5
When that's done, we will likely have different opinions on what is
ideal - how aggressively (and thus slow) licensecheck should scan, and
how the DEP-5 output should be laid out (e.g. if same-licensed files by
different authors should be grouped or not). Hopefully we can identify
some broad patterns that groups of us can agree on being ideal, and
licensecheck can offer such "profiles" under a --usage option.
