I am not sure if I can use the WTFPL-1 license in the License field. In the file http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/; are the possible licenses to use, and of course, WTFPL-1 license is not included. The same problem for the field attribution, is not included in the specification. For these reasons I used the license public-domain, because is in the specification.
