  • I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem description

It looks like electron forge is not passing "copyright" options to DEB and RPM makes, the result is that any application will have the "Electron Github" copyright in the documentation of the package (grep '^' /usr/share/doc/my-electron-app/copyright).

Proposed solution

Both redhat and debian installers already support this parameter, we only need to pass that information to them:

Alternatives considered

We've considered patching the deb/rpm packages after building them, but I would like to avoid manipulating the binaries generated by electron forge.
