[Bug 1602270] Re: [needs-packaging] mate-hud

[Robie Basak]

Hi Martin,

I haven't done a thorough review, but here are three packaging issues
that I think need addressing:

Does mate-hud have an "upstream"? If so, then why is it a native
package?

The top-level LICENSE file says MIT, so why is there no mention of MIT in
debian/copyright?

As the main program being shipped is a Python program, I'd expect the Debian
Python Policy to be followed here. Perhaps section 4.2.1 applies, but that
still requires byte-compilation in the postinst.
