You could work around it by adding a list of all these license files to debian/copyright: Files: Apache-2 GPL-2 ... Copyright: various License: license-text These are the licence texts themselves. Normally, these licenses are captured by the Files: * catch-all, so this doesn't usually appear. I have no idea who holds the copyright to the licenses themselves and what the License on the license is.... Best wishes, Julian
