Bug#840122: Info received (Bug#840122: Incorrect description in debian/copyright)

Hi,

Just for the record, fossil copyright was relicensed in 2010.

When FTP master reviewed it, it was GPL.

In retrospective, there were better way to do this.

Anyway, please install "bash-completion".

 $ cat /usr/share/doc/bash-completion/README.Debian
 $ man dh_bash-completion

Then you get an idea of bash-completion itself.  Now I see, instead of
adding override, I should have used debian/fossil.bash-completion to
install completion.

also see https://github.com/scop/bash-completion

Also, about symlink to "f", its undocumented but having this symlink
enables bash-completion to enable fossil completion for users who sets
alias "f".  Let's not do it.  If one sets alias, one should set
completion too.
