Thanks for this. I've updated the debian/copyright and resubmitted.

I only discovered `cme` last week, very helpful. As is the `ag` command 
you show.

BTW, this package is being de-vendored from `openmpi` which is already 
in the archive. OpenMPI has an old-fashioned non-machine readable 
copyright file i'm updating.

Re-reading the policy, I see that its not as pedantic as I originally 
thought: you don't need separate stanzas for each combination of 
ownerships when they have the same license, which is the mistake that 
made this file so big :-).

Regards

Alastair
