Well, I am confused by this:

http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

This says "MIT", right? And that's the license I wrote in
debian/copyright. Is this wrong? Could you should me where I may find a
copy of the Expat license (or generally, could you clarify)?

I tried and failed to use utf-8. Since that's only for the doc, I found
it more easy and strait forward to just patch the file.

All of my packages for OpenStack are using Git, and openstack-pkg-tools.
Therefore, I am able to do:

./debian/rules gen-author-list

to extract the commiters. Patrick and Simon de Haan appear on that list:

Of course, I'm removing myself and some duplicates. I should add Sascha
Peilicke who's a new contributor since last July the 19th.

Cheers,
