Which part of LGPL-2.1 should I add ? the end part of LGPL.LICENSE is the same 
as that of OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE.

Maintainer is the owner of this package. for sunpinyin is a input method 
package,  I hope this packageCollaborative maintenanced by IME Packaging Team, 
so I set IME Packaging Teamas as the Maintainer, and me as the Uploaders. I 
reference developers-reference[1] to set these fields. 

For sponsor a package, this  FAQ[2] may help. Develpers-reference have related 
topics[3] too.

I use dh_make to generate debian/*, ande debian/control comes with build-
depends on debhelper, if build-depends on debhelper removed, lintian reports 
package-uses-debhelper-but-lacks-build-depends, and it will fail to build in 
my pbuilder environment. 

My debian/rules invokes dh_quilt_patch and dh_quilt_unpatch when build and 
clean, those commands are in quilt, so I should have build-depends on quilt

CDDL is a commonly used open source license, openoffice, glassfish, netbeans and 
many other packages in debian use CDDL too.  Thomas Koch even raise a bug to 
ask base-files include CDDL[5]

OK, I'll remove LGPL.LICENSE and COPYING from debian/docs. Shoud 
OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE be removed too ?  for debian/copyright have included it.

lm_sc.t3g.arpa.tar.bz2 and dict.utf8.tar.bz2 is licensed under Creative 
Commons 3.0 BY-SA, CC-by-SA 3.0 is DFSG-compatible[6], I want to package it 
latter, so I write debian/README.Debian as a transient proposal.

Its my mistake, I'll correct this problem in next upload.

There is no file in /usr/lib/sunpinyin/data after installation, it is used for 
compiled LM and DICD data, and I hope it can be automatically remove if it is 
empty when remove libsunpinyin3 or sunpinyin-utils.
