Well, it appears to have been there for a while, both the xml-purge.c
one and then gseal-gtk-compat.h ones are there in the Debian pcmanfm
0.98-1 packages that are in wheezy, and in the 0.97-1 packages that are
in squeeze, which *is* Debian stable.

If was OK when squeeze was released, why is it RC now?

Anyway: we can fix (4) by editing debian/copyright to state the
copyright info for that one file.

Adding a copyright to autogen.sh is something PCMan would need to do,
since he wrote it (I presume).

I do not know how to fix the lack of copyright and licence in
xml-purge.c, because I have no idea who wrote it.  If PCman did, then he
can add a licence and copyright notice to it, too.

Sounds good.  Right now my automated pcmanfm package builds for Ubuntu
are apparently working OK, see ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily i.e.
