John, is the jsw/dep5-copyright on alioth meant to be up-to-date (AFAICT
it is currently not up to date, it only contains an initial subset of
the patchset you sent to the list), or should we refer to the Gitorious
one for the most recent version of your work?


Aside from that, the only other issue I've spotted is the lack of an
entry in debian/copyright for this new module. ... and yes, this is a
very "meta" omission, given the patchset in question :-)


For non-DebConf attendees, I'd also like to mention here that at DebConf
John's example script has been run on all (allegedly) machine-parsable
debian/copyright files currently in the Debian archive (~21'000 files).
As far as he could tell all remaining parsing failures are actual issues
in the files --- that we should probably report at bugs at some point
--- rather than in the parser itself.


Thanks a lot for this module, I'm looking forward for its arrival in
master.
