[Bug 639726] Re: Bad syntax in debian/copyright

[Michael Terry]

Oh, I also just realized that you need to add periods (" .") on blank
lines in long descriptions.  So:

"""

"""

Should become:

"""

 modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
 version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
 .

 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

"""

And both the BSD and LGPL long descriptions could use a pointer to
common-licenses too.
