Sorry for the silence, Christian! I had drafted a reply but apparently
never sent it. It was a busy week :/

Thanks a lot of the review! I'll reply to some things below.

> - Lintian check
> Happy except a few copyright warnings which we will get into in the next spot

I was surprised about that, because we run Lintian in our CI. Turns out
the shared build-debian GitHub action ignored the Lintian exit code
*facepalm*. That's fixed with https://github.com/canonical/desktop-
engineering/pull/100

> - License/Copyright checks
> [...]

I confirm those issues, and there are actually a lot more issues
reported on main (the version we uploaded is based on the last stable
release, which was a while ago). I'm working on solving the copyright
issues (and other Lintian issues) on main first and then I plan to do
the same for the version we uploaded. I'll make sure that both Lintian
and licenserecon are happy.


Because of all the vendored dependencies we have (far too many for my liking), 
a complete debian/copyright file requires hundreds of entries. It seems 
unmaintainable to me to do that manually, so I've now been using decopy 
(https://salsa.debian.org/debian/decopy) to generate the file. It still 
requires a lot of manual work to clean things up afterwards, but I didn't find 
anything better. Please let me know if you know of a better way.

> There are a few more like
> P: authd: spelling-error-in-copyright Unknwon Unknown

Funny enough, that's not a typo. The author of those Go packages
actually uses the name "Unknwon: https://ini.unknwon.io/

I will suppress that warning (and a few others) by adding it to
debian/source/lintian-overrides.
