It has become almost ubiquitous in Debian for there to exist a separate debian/* stanza, because it improves readability and separation between upstream copyright and licensing statements and Debian copyright and licensing statements. However, if you feel strongly about them being combined, I would suggest you add a detailed Comment section explaining that they are combined and (probably) listing which of the copyright statements apply to upstream and which apply to Debian. The practical result of this is that it will probably take more lines to combine them then to keep them separate. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
