[Bug 607760] Re: Merge alsa-firmware into linux-firmware

[Chase Douglas]

Many short licenses are pasted into the WHENCE file in linux-firmware.
The WHENCE file only refers to LICENCE.* files when they are rather
large and cumbersome. This WHENCE file is then packaged up as the README
file that comes with linux-firmware. You can find the file at
/usr/share/doc/linux-firmware/README.gz.

Also, all the LICENCE.* files are kept separate in the binary package as
it is today. Perhaps we should move to merging them into one file
though.

I do agree that we should be maintaining a separate WHENCE.ubuntu file
to distinguish between our changes and upstream. It will add a bit of
extra work when we push changes upstream, but that's not a big deal.
