No.

My issue is that i don't understand how public domain is DFSG, and the
consequence is that i cannot handle it properly in debian packages.
For example, reading [0]:

 When the License field in a paragraph has the short name public-domain,
 the remaining lines of the field must explain exactly what exemption the
 corresponding files for that paragraph have from default copyright
 restrictions.

This debian/copyright paragraph doesn't follow that requirement :

 Files: *
 License: public-domain

How can i tell it's a mistake if i can't explain what's wrong ?

Jérémy.
