Package: dh-make
Version: 0.40
Severity: minor

As suggested in message[1]:

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html

The dh_make generated copyright template could be improved a little. It
now reads (after Debianizing):

    This package was debianized by Mr Foo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on
    Mon,  3 Apr 2006 21:14:08 +0300.

    It was downloaded from <fill in ftp site>

SUGGESTION FOR IMPROVEMENT

    This package was debianized by Mr Foo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on
    Mon,  3 Apr 2006 21:14:08 +0300.

    It was downloaded from <fill in ftp site>

    Copyright Holder: <put author(s) name and email here>

    License:

+      Copyright: <YEAR> - <YEAR> <Copyright Holder's name>

       This package is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
       <... the FSF legalese ...>

In the message [1] it was suggested that there would also be line:

     The current Debian maintainer is YOUR NAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

But I find i redundat to mention this in copyright file beceause the
information is already readily available in debian/control.
