I bumped it to warning as the DFSG team wanted that to happen. I am of the opinion that warning is the right severity - it is high time that we move to a machine readable copyright for all packages at this point. I've CC'ed the dfsg team on this. If they agree upon it, I will downgrade it to info. Best, Nilesh
