 From Dustin Kirkland, Ubuntu developer:

 """

 My main concern right now is that most of the source files are missing
 copyright/licensing headers. Ideally, each file should have a copyright
 and license header in it. Your license is GPLv2+. See the little
 boilerplate GPL header shown in /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.

 Furthermore, run ’licensecheck -r .’ at the top of your source tree and
 you’ll see some 245 python files missing headers. It would be advisable
 to get properly licensed/copyrighted sources into Ubuntu.

Comment:

 Debian does not require this, and it's unnecessary work.
