I want to add more long licenss text to this package.

I think about the CC licenses which are DFSG conform and the AGPL-3.

More licenses can follow.

I prepare it under https://salsa.debian.org/mechtilde/base-files/.
I miss the possibility to create a Merge Request.

What's your preferred way for such patches?
