What's the license of "debian/" directories in source packages? Not for native packages, but the packaging for third-party software. Is it the
same as the upstream code, or does Debian own the copyright and have a particular license for that, or what?
I looked over the Policy Manual and the Legal FAQ, but didn't see an
answer. Is this something that's been discussed before?
Best,
