[Python-apps-team] Bug#638720: Odoo packaging

W. Martin Borgert debacle at debian.org

Quoting "W. Martin Borgert" <debacle at debian.org>:

I forgot to mention another thing to work on in this respect:
All source code copyright holders and licenses must be present
in debian/copyright. This again, is a lot of work, but I started
already, so maybe I'm halfway through - I hope :~)

Again, upstream and all users of Odoo would benefit from this
work, because it clarifies the legal terms of the software.

Cheers
