I guess the rule was to use a wildcard when it is possible. You can certainly list every file but then the copyright file will be much bigger.
Note: What I finally did was to keep the lib/* and m4/* wildcards and expand the others.

Well, I took your file as a base, and it helped a lot, but I also had to make several important changes. By using "debmake -k", I found there was a bunch of files under LGPL 2.0+ and another bunch of files under LGPL 3.0+ so I had to create new blocks for them. While moving files to the right block it became clear to me that expanding the wildcards was better than not expanding them. The final file differs from the proposal in several minor ways: I looked at other people's copyright file and realized that nobody puts the full path in the Source: field at the top, most people put only the URL as the base directory, which I believe it is good enough. Another change I did: I consider this paragraph: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this file. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. to be at the same "level" as this one: On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License version 3 may be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3'. as both tell the user where to find the license. So I put the latter after the former, not in a Comment section. I believe the file should be mostly correct now. Thanks a lot.
