No worries, I'm just glad it wasn't me this time :-)

The same is true vice-versa too, I assure you.

Ok, not a huge issue there.

That should be fine.  I honestly don't care but there has been a push on me
lately.  Your reasoning seems valid though.

Odd, I don't see them in the DEB i pulled from the PPA but I do when I build
the package locally.  I have attached the file.

I think i must be missing something :-)  You are correct, it is hidden.
(this used to, and according to spec still should work) I have contacted one

Has this been built yet?  I don't see the overrides included.

Also, one other thing I noticed that I didn't before: You include the BSD
license.  If you don't mind, please remove it and instead in your copyright
refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD. (I know, I'm nit-picking you to
death but want this to go through the first shot if possible)

Thanks!
