As usual, thanks for your excellent hints! You are quoting the definition of Extra fields. I am referring to the later discussion in the debian-project mailinglist. Even when using r135 of DEP5 you can arguably avoid leading X- simply by considering your fields not as extra ones but proposed ones (as their format are not defined nor forbidden). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Fixing the FSF address is something lintian complains about. Debian Policy, however, mandates copying licensing info _verbatim_. Both is satisfied if treating where to get a copy of the license not as a part of the license itself but rather an add-on note: Strip it from the verbatim copying of license, and readd it in the Debian-specific comment. Oh, and double-check if the source talks about Lesser GPL or Library GPL: There is no such thing as GNU Lesser Public License version 2, as the term Lesser was introduced with version 2.1!

So all in all, it might (depending on the Lesse/Library mess) end up with something like this: License-Comment: You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public License along with this program. If not, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/. . On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU Library General Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2'.
