We use the <ulink
url="http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/";>machine-readable
format</ulink> for the <filename>debian/copyright</filename> file. The
<computeroutput>Source</computeroutput> field does not need to contain the full
URL to the particular version that is being packaged, since this can be
determined by the <command>uscan</command> program with the
<filename>debian/watch</filename> file. Please list yourself in the
<computeroutput>Files: debian/*</computeroutput> section if you think that your
contributions are not trivial and therefore subjected to copyright. Please
chose a license that is compatible with the program you package. You can also
use <quote>same as if it were in the public domain</quote> or <quote>same as
the packaged program itself</quote>.

+ To create some reasonable skeleton for a
<filename>debian/copyright</filename> file you can try the following:
+ <blockquote>
+ <para><userinput>
+ <command>sudo apt-get install
devscripts cdbs</command>
+ </userinput></para>
+ <para><userinput>
+ <command>licensecheck
--copyright -r `find -type f` | /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 >
debian/copyright</command>
+ </userinput></para>

<filename>debian/copyright</filename> file you can use:
