_Above_ does not contain that info.

I fail to locate a COPYING.LIB inside of the zziplib subdir, and even if 
it existed, we would need to add a Comment: stating that we *assume* 
that to be the licensing which is too vaguely described in the embedded 
licensing statements themselves.

We need to be explicit in debian/copyright.

I suggest first resolving for sure which version(s) of LGPL is actually 
ised throughout this codebase, and then (if still relevant) ask d-legal.
