Package: bat
Version: 0.23.0-4
Severity: serious

bat's upstream source and the rust-bat_0.23.0.orig.tar.gz file both contain a
NOTICE file which, per the packages's Apache 2.0 license, must be preserved in
derivative works.  However, this NOTICE file is not present in the binary .deb
packages distributed by Debian.

Note that bat itself embeds the text of the NOTICE file in its own binary, and
the text is displayed when running `batcat --acknowledgements`.  However, Paul
Wise has stated on the debian-legal mailing list that the NOTICE should still
be distributed as a file in the .deb packages:
