Package: libconvert-uulib-perl
Version: 1.09-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The copyright check in the new libconvert-uulib-perl version fails
in a different way than the previous one. From the ia64 log on
buildd.debian.org:

Scanning upstream source for new/changed copyright notices (except debian subdir!)...
licensecheck -c '.*' -r --copyright -i '^(debian/.*|(.*/)?config\.(guess|sub|rpath)(\..*)?)' * \
        | grep -v '^\(\|.*: \*No copyright\* \(GENERATED FILE\|UNKNOWN\)\)$' - \
        | sed 's/\s*(with incorrect FSF address)\s*$//; s/\s(\+v\(.\+\) or later)/-\1\+/; s/^\s*\[Copyright:\s*/ \[/' \
        | awk '/^[^ ]/{printf "%s",$0;next}{print}' \
        | LC_ALL=C sort -t : -k2,1 -k1 \
        > debian/copyright_newhints
Found 5 different copyright and licensing combinations.
ERROR: The following new or changed copyright notices discovered:

To fix the situation please do the following:
  1) Investigate the above changes and update debian/copyright as needed
  2) Replace debian/copyright_hints with debian/copyright_newhints
make: *** [debian/stamp-copyright-check] Error 1
