Thanks for your work on this package. I've identified several policy
compliance issues that should be addressed before the package is
uploaded to the archive.

Missing documentation: test/kurt-tokens.txt is a large (11k+ lines)
test oracle file that contains a tokenized LGPL-3.0+ copyright and
license header (lines 2-32). This file is entirely undocumented in
debian/copyright, which is a significant documentation gap for a
file carrying a secondary license.

Verbatim accuracy: The wildcard "Files: *" entry in debian/copyright
lists "2012 - 2017". However, the main library code (BSD-3-Clause)
only dates back to 2017. The 2012 date belongs exclusively to the
LGPL-licensed kurt test files. Mixing these in the main entry is
inaccurate and misrepresents the main project's history.

Secondary license presence: test/__snapshots__/test.js.snap contains
verbatim LGPL-3.0+ license text as part of its snapshot data. While
this is generated data, it confirms the presence of LGPL-licensed
content that isn't fully acknowledged in the current copyright file.
