formatted copyright file errors

Bug description:
Hi,
The debian/copyright file is formatted (per draft Dep5) but has errors
respecting the current version of the spec.
(http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?op=file&rev=135).
It is marked invalid by my copyright parser and therefore licenses and
copyrights cannot be reliably extracted.
I'll attach three items:
* a report of the copyright generated by my copyright parser. I generated
this after fixing the copyright's first line so that it is recognized as
formatted. This shows that many of the errors are in using free form text in
"License: " lines, which is not allowed. Spaces delimit license assertions.
Every asserted license must be either defined in place, or have a free standing
stanza to define it, or be a well-known short license name per the spec.
Because "NONE" is asserted as a license, I added a "License: NONE"
free-standing stanza whose text indicates that no license is asserted. I also
added a GPL-improper stanza (reluctantly) to handle this case, which needs
review. Also, every "Files: " stanza MUST have a "License: " line (a required
field), even though that seems redundant, but this aids readability.
* report of the copyright generated after I fixed it.
* a bzr diff that contains the fixes.
Please review changes for accuracy and apply.
