[pkg-s48-maint] Re: sunterlib_0.8-2_i386.changes REJECTED

Hi,

sunterlib is a collection of otherwise independent libraries.

I never got an answer to the message quoted below; please confirm one
of the following scenarios after reading the quoted message:

 - We ftpmasters require you to throw away (not include in any form in
   the Debian package) the information of which library in sunterlib
   is under what copyright. Please ship only the current
   debian/copyright file, which contains a list of all copyright
   holders and all licenses (one time only), without the detail of
   which part is under what copyright.

 - We prefer that you have the source package produce 27 binary
   packages (one per library and one meta-package "sunterlib" that
   depends on all of them), each containing its own copyright
   information.

 - We prefer that you generate a huge debian/copyright file, of a
   format like this:

   ${name of library 1}
   ${list of copyright holders of library 1}
   ${license of library 1}
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   ${name of library 2}
   ${list of copyright holders of library 2}
   ${license of library 2}
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   ${name of library 3}
   ${list of copyright holders of library 3}
   ${license of library 3}
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   ...

 - Please reupload what you had prepared in march, which has:

   - one global debian/copyright file with all copyright holders and
     all licenses (only once) without the detail of which library is
     under what licence / copyright holder.

   - one COPYRIGHT file per library which contains its license and
     copyright holders.

 - Something else, fill in:
