Please find attached a patch documenting the missing licenses. I discussed
with Paul Tagliamonte who rejected your syslinux upload and he explained
that nowadays he would accept the package but file an RC bug to get the
copyright file fixed.

I believe that with this patch, your package should be safe to go through
NEW anyway. Let's go ahead and make some progress.

(BTW the switch to syslinux 6 should happen sooner rather than later, i.e.
well before the jessie freeze, let's not redo the same mistake than last
time.)

Cheers,

PS: This mail concerns syslinux and not live-build obviously, but since
the discussion started here, I send it here. If you can't merge it
quickly, and would prefer a dedicated bug against syslinux, let me know.
