I'd though leave the decision if the additions should be listed separately for these files or in summary as above to the actual package maintainers. (I'm just generally interested in the shape of this package as I'm a heavy user of it. And I did a lot of debian/copyright conversions to the machine-readable format in the past.) Additionally I would recommend to the package maintainers to sort this list in some way. Usually they're sorted by the first contribution, e.g. sorted alphabetically like this: Copyright: 1996-2004 Miquel van Smoorenburg <miqu...@cistron.nl> 2005-2010, 2014 Petter Reinholdtsen <p...@debian.org> 2006 Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <h...@debian.org> 2006 Thomas Hood <jdth...@yahoo.co.uk> 2006-2007 Steinar H.

Clytie Siddall > <cly...@riverland.net.au>, 2009. The 2009 at the beginning and end looks odd. This probably should better be: Copyright: 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 2009 Clytie Siddall <cly...@riverland.net.au> > License: ^^^^^^^ Here's the license name missing. Just an empty "License:" field without value is not valid syntax (nor valid semantic). But I do see that the file has a copyright statement without a license statement. Actually having an explicit copyright statement in that file without having a license declared actually makes the file's license situation a bit being in limbo. Then again, seeing no license in combination with a copyright statement of the FSF is very odd. It is very likely that the license statement got lost at some point in time. Unfortunately this must have happened before the import into Debian in 2009 as the file got committed to git with that statement as it is today: https://bugs.debian.org/550220 — I guess the only way to find out is to contact Clytie Siddall and ask for clarification.
