And I am downgrading this bug report to wishlist.

There is no basis, legally or in policy, for treating it as a serious bug
that an *alternate* license, which is not relevant to Debian's distribution
of the binaries, be included in debian/copyright.

It obviously applies to this package just as it does to all others.  But
your interpretation of this policy is pathological.

Hmm, why do you think that paragraph 12.5 of the policy is not valid for
this package?

As others don't seem to have a problem with my interpretation of the
policy, can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?

I've pushed this through NEW, but there was a note that it wasn't being
processed because of this bug.

Perhaps it's time to clarify this with the ftp-masters, clear up policy
or close this bug. Leaving it as an idle blocker and playing pingpong
makes no sense.

Thanks,
  Paul
