Control: found -1 endless-sky/0.10.10-1
Control: reopen -1
As much as I'd like to see a new release of endless-sky get into Debian
stable, the debian/copyright file in the 0.10.10-1 version of the
package remains incomplete. The debian/copyright file needs to be
modified by reconciling its contents with the upstream project's
top-level copyright file.
One major complication exists in that several image files in the source
tree are documented in the top-level copyright file as being subject to
the Unsplash license, a DFSG-incompatible license. In some cases it may
be possible to simply exclude these DFSG-incompatible files using a
Files-Excluded header[1][2] in the debian/copyright file.

[2]https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch08.en.html#files-excluded
Long term it would be best to work with upstream to replace
DFSG-incompatibly-licensed files with compatibly-licensed replacements.
I'm working on updating the debian/copyright file locally, but I have
my doubts I'll be able to finish it by the Trixie soft-freeze next
week. If anyone would like to collaborate on this, please reach out and
I'll be happy the share my work-in-progress.
