If so, what shall be the name of the common package? Not being familar with this package, this question confuses me. You said "binding subpackage" - to me this implies there is a "natural common base package". > I > need to add that some of the bindings have different licenses, so some > of the above license files may be irrelevant for some of the bindings. Common ones can go into a common base package, those which only apply to individual subpackages, should go into their subpackage. Also check if you really need to package both *.html and *.txt versions or if they carry identical contents.
