Package: dh-make
Version: 0.43
Severity: wishlist

The license templates /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/*
mentions that Debian packaging be licensed under the GPL, but that
may cause license conflicts and inconveniences.

e.g.

* If /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/blank is used for GPL
  incompatible licensed works, licensing under the GPL is inconsistency.

* If /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/licenses/bsd is used for BSD
  licensed works, licensing under the GPL causes that the works
  cannot be combined/linked with GPL incompatible licensed works.

I normally use the following notice for my Debian packaging
conditions:

| The Debian packaging is distributed under the same conditions as the
| upstream.

I hope that dh-make will recommend a similar way in the license
templates.

Thanks,
