Package: src:pywps
Version: 4.2.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.3

One of our ftp-trainees reviewed your package and made the following
observations.  They exist in the current version of the package, so I'm
not rejecting as a result, but they should be fixed in the next upload:

Compiled works are present in tests/ and it does not appear this data can be rebuilt
from the source package provided.  Please remove and repack the tarball
to remove any such artifacts.

Data in pywps/schemas/geojson/ has no licensing information.

Who holds an actual copyright is confusing:
- LICENSE.txt claims copyright by "PyWPS Development Team"
- All source claims copyright by "Open Source Geospatial Foundation"
- Source also (incorrectly) uses "and others" as a copyright holder
- d/copyright claims "PyWPS Project Steering Committee" is a copyright holder, but is
  not represented in source

Files provided in d/patches have a copyright holder that is not present in d/copyright
This appears to be the new maintainer, they should be included in the debian/* paragraph.
