kinda suggests to use short license name "public-domain" within
License: field. But also it suggests that Copyright is the correct
place for such information (which I agree with, since being "public
domain" is about ownership, not description of the use terms)
I think public domain in the Debian DEP-5 context is a license. While
it's not legally a license, the public domain status serves the same
purpose: telling people what rights they have to use the work. So I
would do something like:
License: public-domain
<insert here the exact wording from upstream explaining why the work
is in the public domain>
So what to put in the Copyright field? It's a required one.
