The debian/copyright file must contain all the copyright information AND all the license information. All the licenses from all the LICENSES files must be copied into debian/copyright (the full text of common licenses can be referenced against usr/share/common-licenses). Upstream LICENSES files should not be shipped in Debian. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
