Hello Thorsten,

thanks for the review!

Can you please expand on this a little bit? It's the same approach as with the
already existing packages:

https://sources.debian.org/src/cockpit-podman/103-1/debian/copyright/
https://sources.debian.org/src/cockpit-machines/329-1/debian/copyright/
https://sources.debian.org/src/cockpit/336-1/debian/copyright/

Indeed I just noticed that d/copyright is missing the Copyright attribution for
the bundled React and PatternFly dependencies (cockpit has them), and I'll fix
that, also in c-{machines,podman}. However, that doesn't seem to be your
primary concern?

The cockpit-files code as well as the bundled React and PatternFly are all free
software, so "main" should be appropriate. The package is also in Fedora
(https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=cockpit-files).

I.e. what can I do to make this palatable for main? I realize the packaging of
npm modules is a huge nuisance, the above was what seemed to work between
upstream and Debian ftpmasters in the past.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Martin
