[Pkg-javascript-devel] node-tsc-alias_1.8.16-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

[Reinhard Tartler]

Thanks for your diligence while working on this package. I've had a look
through the source, and while it's mostly there, I have to reject it for
now because of inaccuracies in `debian/copyright` and missing metadata.

### Critical Issues (Blockers)

1.  **Failure to Reproduce Copyright Notices Verbatim**:
    The Expat license requires that "The above copyright notice and this
    permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial
    portions of the Software." In `debian/copyright`, the upstream
    notice has been modified to "Juste Méthode B. <cervotechit at gmail.com>".
    While this might be an attempt to identify the author's legal name,
    the license mandates verbatim reproduction of the notice found in
    the source: `Copyright (c) 2018 Justkey`. Please update the stanza
    to match the upstream `LICENSE` file exactly.

2.  **Incorrect Copyright Years**:
    The upstream copyright year in `debian/copyright` is listed as 2026,
    but the source code's `LICENSE` file is dated 2018. The years in
    `debian/copyright` must accurately reflect the notices in the
    source.

3.  **Missing Copyright for Test Projects**:
    `projects/project24/package.json` identifies a different author:
    `"author": "Dmitry Kirilyuk <gk.joker at gmail.com>"`. This file is not
    covered by the current `debian/copyright` stanzas. Please add a
    specific stanza for these files, again ensuring you reproduce the
    copyright notice as it appears in the source.

### Required Fixes

-   Update `debian/copyright` to verbatim match the upstream copyright
    notices and years.
-   Add a stanza for `projects/project24/*` to credit Dmitry Kirilyuk.
-   Add `Priority: optional` to the `Source` stanza in `debian/control`
    to comply with Debian Policy 2.5.
