Dear Thomas, you can check the syntax of a machine-readable Debian copyright file with the config-edit tool. More informations can be found in the following blog post. http://ddumont.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/debian-copyright-dep5-parsereditorvalidatormigrator-is-released/ For the packaging work, I usually consider it trivial and do not claim a copyright on it. Packages without debian/* files paragraph in debian/copyright are regularly accepted by the FTP team. If you chose to explicitely declare a copyright in some files in the debian directory, using the same license as upstream will keep the debian/copyright file valid without debian/* sections through the catch-all files paragraph.
