Hi, the file looks good so far. Maybe you can make your life a bit easier by merging some file paragraphs. If all files in a directory have the same licence, but different copyright lines, you can make one "Files: dir/*" paragraph and list all the copyright lines in that one field. Most packages also have a "Files: *" paragraph for the most common licence at the beginning and overwrite that subsequently with the following paragraphs.
