Stefan,

N:
P: dtach: copyright-refers-to-symlink-license usr/share/common-licenses/GPL
N:
N: The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in
N: /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL
N: license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the
N: license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow
N: relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally
N: consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under
N: later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally
N: better to point to the version of the license the package references in
N: its license statement.
N:
N: For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it
N: and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
N: published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your
N: option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to
N: /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL.
N:
N: For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the
N: GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1.
N:
N: Visibility: pedantic
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: debian/copyright
N:
I: Lintian run was successful.
For me, I would fix this by:
* Removing any reference to 'dtach.spec' from 'debian/copyright'.
* Create a file 'debian/lrc.config' and insert 'dtach.spec' in it.
This will fix the issue and disregard a none Debian file.
Regards
Phil

I: dtach source: out-of-date-standards-version 4.7.0 (released 2024-04-07) (current is 4.7.2)
N:
N: The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that
N: was current at the time the package was created (according to the
N: timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating
N: the package to current Policy and setting this control field
N: appropriately.
N:
N: If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't
N: have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version control
N: field. However, please remember to update this field next time you upload
N: the package.

N: See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the
