Dear Maintainer,
mGBA upstream released 0.8.0 with a number of bug fixes and new
features.
I started working on packaging the new release. I noticed that it
includes additional vendored libraries that trigger a Lintian error:
https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/commit/9197e5a1fbc8574ca26ce9d73b575cdeaebedccb
E: mgba source: license-problem-json-evil res/licenses/rapidjson.txt
E: mgba source: license-problem-json-evil src/third-party/discord-rpc/include/rapidjson/license.txt
On the one hand, I think the error could be overridden, because the text
states that the JSON license only applies to the "jsonchecker" tool,
which is not vendored.
On the other hand, rapidjson-dev is available in Debian, so should we
just exclude it anyway and try to build with the packaged rapidjson? Not
sure whether that will require patching the CMakeLists of discord-rpc.
