hi Hiroshi,

please find my review of pykakasi below. Some of the issues closely
resemble those identified for jaconv, but are included anyway to keep
things in one place. For the binary package, I used a private build
of jaconv left over from yesterday's review of that package.

* copyright: upstream uses GPL-3+ in both code headers and
  pyproject.toml, not GPL-3 (only).
* copyright: please don't repack the orig tarball unless doing so is
  necessary; if you want things like egg-info out of the way there's
  less intrusive ways to achieve that (d/clean etc.).
* copyright: no need to repeat the upstream claim itself within a
  license paragraph, these aren't part of the terms of the license. In
  similar fashion, the copyright fields in various places should be
  trimmed to just "Copyright: <year> <holder>", without any extras
  such as 'Copyright (C)' or 'all rights reserved'.

* rules: hardening enabled for a pkg with nothing to harden?
* rules: undefined variable $(TEST_ARGS) used in argument to dh call
  (args were passed by environment var PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS instead)

* docs: installs sphinx documentation sources into the binary package
  without actually building the docs?
* docs: files such as AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTE that don't seem to be
  useful as end user documentation.

* lintian:
  W: python3-pykakasi: extended-description-line-too-long line 2
  W: python3-pykakasi: no-manual-page [usr/bin/kakasi-pykakasi]
  W: python3-pykakasi: python-module-in-wrong-location usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/pykakasi -> usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pykakasi

  The files triggering that last warning are the following (all duplicates of files also installed in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pykakasi):
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2025-12-29 15:45 ./usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/

  I'm not sure what causes these files to be installed there; this
  might well be an issue with the tooling rather than the packaging.
