Hi,

Your upload of harfbuzz 14.2.1+ds-1 to the NEW queue has had an automated review: an LLM-based check of its licensing and packaging, run by the DFSG team using the Debian Inference service. It is not a decision on the package, and - like other LLM-based work - it can be wrong.

It found 1 blocker, 0 important, 4 minor issues:

  - [blocker] [licensing] No Files stanza covers perf/fonts/Gulzar-Regular.ttf, so debian/copyright gives it the catch-all MIT licence
  - [minor] [licensing] Files: src/hb-gpu-fragment*glsl* is declared Expat, but the files carry the Old MIT grant this file calls MIT
  - [minor] [packaging] libharfbuzz-dev does not depend on libcairo2-dev although it installs hb-cairo.h, which includes <cairo.h>
  - [minor] [packaging] libharfbuzz-gobject0 synopsis calls the GObject bindings an ICU backend
  - [minor] [packaging] debian/watch is in the old version 4 format

There you may choose to reject the upload yourself, while you fix issues and re-upload, or add comments to clarify or dispute the review.

Your comments are for the DFSG team member who reviews the package, not for the LLM: it will not read them or reply. Tell the reviewer where you think the automated review is right or wrong, and why. Comments are public and shown with the review; you may use markdown, e.g. to link to clarifying information.

If you have any questions, please reply to this e-mail and someone from the
team will respond.

If you would rather not be e-mailed about these reviews, log in at https://dfsg-new-queue.debian.org
and say so on your profile page.

Thanks!
