I'll take a closer look at all of the files again.
You can also use (from devscripts package): licensecheck --copyright -r . This will (try ) to list the varioous copyright and licenses found in each file. Take the result with a grain of salt. Then you can do also (from cdbs package): /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 Then you can polish the result with your favorite editor or with cme edit dpkg-copyright (install also libconfig-model-tkui-perl) for the latter.
