Comments

Thanks for the update!

Hmm, I noticed that <https://bugs.debian.org/1110183> still seems to apply. Yes, lrc has been made happy with respect to d/copyright, but that by itself is really not sufficient. So please double-check.

Please also check the other bugs at <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=libunistring>, as I couldn't see any maintainer reply in any of them. FWIW, <https://bugs.debian.org/1110182> didn't seem to apply, my build went fine without these additional dependencies. But please check by yourself as well.
