Ok team, i've just pushed what i already did into our team's git.

There's somethings left to do, i made a debian/TODO file listing what i
want to do before uploading.
I believe i can get at least the copyright update done for today.

I would like advices on two things:
*1.* Does aircrack really need to Depends on python? The kali release
doesn't do so and i was in doubt cause aircrack ships one .py file that is
not a setup one.

# find ./ -iname "*.py"
./scripts/airdrop-ng/setup.py
./scripts/airdrop-ng/old-installers/uninstall.py
./scripts/airdrop-ng/old-installers/install.py
./scripts/airdrop-ng/airdrop/__init__.py
./scripts/airdrop-ng/airdrop/libOuiParse.py
./scripts/airdrop-ng/airdrop/libDumpParse.py*./scripts/dcrack.py*
./scripts/airgraph-ng/setup.py
./scripts/airgraph-ng/graphviz/__init__.py
./scripts/airgraph-ng/graphviz/libOuiParse.py
./scripts/airgraph-ng/graphviz/libDumpParse.py
./scripts/airgraph-ng/graphviz/lib_Airgraphviz.py
./test/verify_inject.py
./test/replay.py

*2.* I added the helper-script that kali is using (see
https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=0002254)

It looks like shipping this script is pretty important to keep,
Raphael may assure that, but lintian
complaints that its manual is missing, how should i deal with that?
Should i create a very very basic

manual for the tool or i may left it without one (leaving the lintian
there, as this is not a case of a override, right?)


​Thanks team.
