Hi Chris!

Lintian currently refers to "dep5" copyright issues and tags, but the
"DEP-5" references have been deprecated in favor of "copyright 1.0":
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
so these tags could be renamed as "copyright 1.0" (or "1.x"), which I
think would make them more clear.
Renaming Lintian tags is not something that should be done lightly. Some
people might have overridden the tags; others might have put them in
their private Lintian profiles.
For similar reasons, it's a bad idea to put version number of the
specification in the tag name.
And "copyright 1.0" doesn't seem more clear to me at all. If anything,
we should do s/dep5-copyright/machine-readable-copyright/.
