This is because DEP5 is not finalized yet. When its inclusion into
the debian-policy package is final, the official copy of the spec
will be at a URL that will be like this:

    http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/copyright-format/1.0

When this is ready, there will be an announcement on debian-devel-announce
and every other Format: URL will need to be amended. Until then,
use whatever you feel best like. The spec suggests something like this:

    http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?op=file&rev=REVISION

which seems like a reasonable thing to do, since it documents what
version of the spec the file is written against.
