When I'll maintain packages in Debian again? Sure, I'll do that. Meanwhile, as upstream, and thanks to Christian's pointers, I've tried out reuse[1], which is in Debian, and liked it a lot. Cheat sheet: reuse annotate -r PATH --license TAG --skip-unrecognized Where TAG is one of those at [2]. It automatically maintains the information in a standard and machine readable way, solving a burdensome hassle elegantly, and having tried it and adopted it myself, it's definitely something I think it's worth advertising to other upstreams. Now, what are you doing these days to bring Debian somewhere interesting?
