- Missing license description for 'public domain' - the Debian manual says that the description should contain details of exactly what exemptions from copyright are made [1]. I had no involvement in making the timezone database, and the webpage about it just describes it as "the public domain time zone database"[2], so I don't know what details I can put.
- debian/rules structure: Is it worth restructuring just for Ubuntu, given that it will make a new diff against Debian's version? I'd prefer to keep the diff as small as practical, so that future merges are easy.
- Tests: They were disabled in Ubuntu earlier this year, a day after they were enabled [3]. Chuck doesn't give a reason in the commit message, but I assume he had one.
Thanks, Barry
