Thanks for the offer, Dominique; I've already used your tool to
validate copyright files, it's very useful indeed.

I've been going through the whole code base for wine-gecko, that's why
it's taken so long; I'm hoping to finish a version which should
satisfy the FTP Masters in the next few days. There are a few files
for which we don't have a license, but they're not needed; there's
also a pile of test code which isn't used but it doesn't seem worth it
to strip it from the +dfsg repackaging. I'll file bugs as appropriate
on the iceweasel packages too of course!

Regards,

Stephen
