   Thanks for this. I've updated the debian/copyright and resubmitted.   
      
   I only discovered `cme` last week, very helpful. As is the `ag` command   
   you show.   
      
   BTW, this package is being de-vendored from `openmpi` which is already   
   in the archive. OpenMPI has an old-fashioned non-machine readable   
   copyright file i'm updating.   
      
   Re-reading the policy, I see that its not as pedantic as I originally   
   thought: you don't need separate stanzas for each combination of   
   ownerships when they have the same license, which is the mistake that   
   made this file so big :-).   
      
   Regards

   'BSD-3-clause' is not declared in a stand-alone License paragraph. Expected
