[Bug 907888] Re: [needs-packaging] dirspec

[Charlie_Smotherman (porthose)]

If you are going to use DEP5 copyright format then please implement it
correctly.

Upstream-Format: 
has been replaced with just 
Format:

Format URL should be http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals
/copyright-format/1.0/

Files: *
Copyright: (C) 2011 Canonical Ltd.

should be

Files: *
Copyright 2011 Canonical Ltd.
License: LGPL-3

and this is just plain wrong: 
License: LGPL-3
 The full text of the LGPL is distributed in
 /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-3 on Debian systems.

At a min the License preable should be given and then the releavent file
sourced as a Comment.

http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/#license-specification states:

"Use of a standard short name does not override the Debian Policy
requirement to include the full license text in debian/copyright, nor
any requirements in the license of the work regarding reproduction of
legal notices. This information must still be included in the License
field, either in a stand-alone License paragraph or in the relevant
files paragraph."
