Thanks a lot, I'll make sure to fix that in the next upload.

One question regarding the files in src/lib/eina/*: except for one
(eina_str.c), the presence of the MIT license in those files is
because they say "This file incorporates work covered by the following
copyright and permission notices: <MIT license>" right after the text
of the LGPL license. In that case, is it enough to just mention
License: LPGL in debian/copyright? If it's not, do you know of any way
to specify multiple licenses for a single file using the DEP-5 format?
Reading the spec, I'm not really sure I see how one is supposed to do
that.

Thanks,
