[Bug 1521962] Re: [MIR] sysconfig

[Didier Roche]

I see one copyright issue on that package (and have some remarks),
otherwise, the rest looks fine to me:

We need to have an explicit "upstream" copyright for this native package
(as it doesn't only ship debian/ dir, debian/copyright isn't really the
copyright file for this entire package). There is none and any header
having copyright on those functions, so we can't use the card of
"obvious license" which can prevent not shipping a COPYING or LICENSE
file here IMHO.

Not a blocker, but some remarks:
- Any reason this package is limitted to only s390 or 390x (I guess it is regarding the chandev sysconfigs)? Maybe the binary package description should reflect this in that case?
- I would prefer that most of our package entering main use --fail-missing, any way to push that to debian?
- Same, would be cool to move it to source format 3 if possible
- finally ,would be nice to get rid of those warnings:
W: sysconfig source: dh-clean-k-is-deprecated
W: sysconfig source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch
W: sysconfig source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep

  To be available on s390x

  No debconf questions.
  Not long-term bugs.
  Only one, not important (opinion) bug open.
  Well maintained by s390x porters in Debian.
  Deals with supportable exotic hardware.
  No test-suite available.
  No watch file, debian native upstream.

  [Dependencies]
  All dependencies are in main

  [Standards compliance]
  Complaint.
