Hi Bastian -

I'll take an update to this file, but what are the /minimum/ requirements
per Debian policy?

Tracking everything by file+name(s)+year seems rather pointless - it's all
present in the accompanying source, and keeping it up to date at this
granularity seems like make-work doomed to be perpetually out of sync.

I'd prefer to populate it with the minimum required information in
order to minimize churn and maximize ongoing correctness if possible.

Thanks,
-Eric
