Bug#795195: libconfig-model-perl: Merging copyright entries

[Daniel Dehennin]

Package: libconfig-model-perl
Version: 2.073-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm in the process of cleaning the unofficial OpenNebula packaging[1],
hoping it can help for a future official one.

I use “cme update dpkg-copyright” but I see some issues:

- Two times the same copyright entry for a file[2], because the helper
  display the copyright information[3].
  Maybe the duplicates can be detected?

- Redundant files entries like:

  + “share/vendor/*”[4] and
  “share/vendor/ruby/gems/rbvmomi/lib/rbvmomi/vim/*”[5]

  + near everything under “src/”

According to copyright format 1.0, we can share the most common licence
in a upper directory listing “src/*” and provide specific copyright
information per file.

Regards.
