-  TODO:
-  - the upstream code doesn't contain any copyright notice. if I remember the
-    last discussions on the mailing list correctly that's not strictly necessary
-    (unless the license requires it) but the Copyright: field in d/control is
-    not quite correct now. I suggest to use the easy solution (like in some
-    other packages) to add a "Comment: The code doesn't contain any explicit
-    copyright statement. Under the Berne Convention we assume that the upstream
-    author is also the copyright holder." or similar.
