Hi all,

I am package libfacets-ruby[1] for the Debian/Ruby Extras maintainers
team.  This package bundles of hundreds of small libraries useful as an
extra for Ruby's standard library.  The authors have all agreed to the
bundling, however not everything is under the Ruby license yet, but they
are trying to work towards that.
Meanwhile, most of the lib files are under the Ruby license (a dual-
licensing of Ruby's own and the GPL), but not all.  I have read the
thread about dual-licensing and other discussions on this list, however
I am not sure what to put in the debian/copyright file.

I am currently packaging facets 0.7.2, which I am mirroring myself until
I get around to tracking the rework done by the Calibre project.  The
upstream source is available at http://paul.luon.net/facets--0.7.2.tar.gz
of which of most interest probably is the README file.

What do you recommend to be put in the debian/copyright file of this
package?

Regards,

Paul
