Source: xfslibs-dev
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.5
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
It looks like the xfslibs-dev package source files are licensed under LGPL
v2.1, however the debian/copyright file indicates that only the libhandle
package is under LGPL and that the rest of the package is licensed under GPL.

All the headers in xfslibs-dev are licensed under the LGPL. The man
pages don't have specific licensing information in the source file nad
thus default to GPL.

As analyzed by Christoph already, d/copyright is actually fine:
libhandle -> LGPL 2.1
remaining-> GPL-2
(see doc/COPYING)
Therefore closing.
