Hi,

Debian Quality Assurance has pointed me to the fact that the Debian
packaging debian/copyright file doesn't hold a proper copyright
statement such as "Copyright YYYY by John Doe <john at doe.com>".

However, the current aide release doesn't have a clear copyright
statement as well.

What do you want me to write in debian/copyright, which currently has
the following contents:

----
This package was debianized by Mike Markley mike at markley.org on

currently available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/aide

Upstream Authors: Rami Lehti <rammer at cs.tut.fi>
                  Pablo Virolainen <pablo at cs.tut.fi>

It might also be a good idea to have a "proper" copyright statement in
your sources as well.

Please advise.
