The copyright file in package libxt (version 1:1.2.1-1) is out-of-date.
The sources from which libxt were built have a current copyright file
at the top of the source-tree "COPYRIGHT" which can be used to replace
the out-of-date copyright file in the package.

Debian policy addresses this issue:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#copyright-debian-copyright

Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its distribution
license(s) in the file /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright.

This is already fixed in git:
https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/lib/libxt/-/commit/1c6d55358db3825bdc27a9c0101bbef5cff3d04e

thank you

Is it ok to integrate the patch?

I tried to fix this RC bug. but I can't do it in my build environment.
It isn't buildable with gbp buildpackage. I miss pristine-tar and upstream
branch.

Mechtilde
