I'd like to propose updates to:
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/
(1) Use URL instead of real FSF address everywhere
-You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public
-License along with this package; if not, write to the Free
-Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor,
-Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
+You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+along with this program; if not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Rationale: FSF recommendation

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
(2) No ending commas in years
Example 1. tri-licensed files
Example 2. recurrent license
Files: src/js/editline/*
-Copyright: 1993, John Doe
- 1993, Joe Average
+Copyright: 1993 John Doe
+ 1993 Joe Average
Rationale: Commas are used between years YYYY,YYYY,YYY and not at the
end. Compare to section "Copyright" where there are no ending commas.
See also FSF recommentation
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html>:
Copyright (C) year1, year2, year3 copyright-holder
(3) Uniform Layout
E.g.
-Copyright: 1993 John Doe
- 1993 Joe Average
+Copyright:
+ 1993 John Doe
+ 1993 Joe Average
Rationale: The whole document uses one-space indent for consequtive
lines.
