Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for your work on this! I've uploaded it, but I made a few small
changes that you should note.

1) I added a link to the copy of the GPL-3 at /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3 in the GPL-3 stanza of debian/copyright in order to completely close this bug.
2) I rebased your changes on the version currently in quantal. So the version number is now 1.6-0ubuntu2
3) I moved your changes to the upstream source (the desktop file) into a proper patch in debian/patches.

Title:
  E: zescrow-client: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-
  gpl

Status in “zescrow” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  debian/copyright for zescrow says:

   You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
   along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

  This is true, the user *did* receive a copy of said license, at
  /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3.  The copyright file should point
  there as required by policy.

  Also, the file has the same sort of boilerplate for AGPL:

    You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
   along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

  AGPL is *not* shipped in /usr/share/common-licenses, so recipients of
  this binary in all likelihood have *not* received a copy of this
  license... and shouldn't have to go to a third-party website to get
  it.  Please include the full text of the AGPL in this file, as
  required by policy.
