Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I think you were right to not accept
the package. I have corrected the debian/copyright file. Now it contains
different license sections for what's in xstatic/pkg/d3/data/* and the
rest (eg: the __init__.py file).

I do believe that Radomir Dopieralski should be mentioned, as he's the
author of the Python part, and I don't believe he gave his copyright
holder rights to Michael Bostock. Let me know if you think this is
wrong, in which case I'll keep only the d3 licensing.

BTW, thanks for the other packages approval (if it was you...). Note
that I only should have 2 remaining uploads for that series:
python-xstatic-jquery-ui and xstatic-bootstrap-scss. I'm not sure how to
deal with that one, as I need version 3, and Debian only has version 2.3
of bootstrap. Of course (otherwise, it wouldn't be fun...), version 2
and 3 are API incompatible! Do you think it'd be fine to just leave the
embedded copy of bootstrap-scss for that package? Or should I try to
package the full of bootstrap 3 and upload to Experimental (more work,
for something I will not really use...)?

Cheers,
