Install devscripts & cdbs then run this:

licensecheck --copyright -r `find -type f` |
/usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 > debian/copyright

licensecheck is obviously not as complete as something like fossology
so it will need massaging and there will be missing files if upstream
hasn't kept a good record.
