[Bug 1664746] Re: Request for sponsorship for new upstream release (zesty deb provided)

[Jeremy Bicha]

Francesco, you can't remove the text of the GPL and BSD licenses from
debian/copyright. If you put it back, you can drop those lintian
overrides you added.

In debian/control, you changed the Maintainer which is inappropriate for Debian.
And we'll probably be targeting experimental instead of unstable.

Your debian/changelog is very verbose. I will probably shorten it
dramatically for Debian. For your next release, I encourage you to ship
a NEWS file. Then we can ship that to users in
/usr/share/doc/onboard/NEWS (or NEWS.gz as it's automatically compressed
if it's bigger than a certain size). And those who want to read about
all the new features, bugfixes and improvements can find it there.

I need to talk to Mike about the debian/copyright changes. He may want
to keep using his existing workflow for keeping that up-to-date.

Anyway, none of this should require any action from your for Debian
1.4.0.

Also for next time, please try to finalize the release sooner since you
need sponsorship. I am pretty busy this week with the Feature Freeze
deadline, but will try to squeeze this in.
