For the record, the source package is currently at:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/m2m-aligner/m2m-aligner_1.1-1.dsc

Lintian emits:
W: m2m-aligner source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.3 (current is 3.9.4)

tclap1.1.0/ looks like an embedded copy of a library, which is packaged
in Debian separately. Please build-depend on libtclap-dev and make sure
that the embedded copy won't be used at build time.

I wouldn't call the "You are welcome to use the code for research,
commercial, and other purposes" statement a license; I don't think it
belongs in debian/copyright. On the other hand, I don't see the MIT
license (which is mentioned on the homepage) anywhere in the upstream
tarball...

Why do you build-depend on "libstdc++6-4.6-dev | libstdc++-dev"
explicitly? The C++ standard library is guaranteed to be (transitively)
build-essential.

Fixed, but not uploaded yet.

m2m-aligner fails to build with tclap 1.2.0. I found a workaround, but not a proper fix. So I contacted the upstream author about it.

I also asked for a new release with an explicit license included in the tarball.

There is no reason. It was just that I did not know about it when I packaged m2m-aligner and then I forgot to fix it later.
Fixed, but not uploaded yet.

I will let you know when I will hear from upstream.

Bests,
Giulio.

I found a fix for it. A patch is included in the m2m-aligner sources.
I contacted tclap upstream to know if the fix can be included upstream: if yes I will propose the fix for the tclap 1.2.0 package, otherwise I will just keep the patch in
m2m-aligner.

I uploaded my repository to collab-maint:
git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/m2m-aligner.git

And I removed the package from mentors.

Upstream released a new package with a license file and with tclap included.
