I agree (but don't know if we'll be able to).

Your draft is good; the thing I'd like to note is that supplying a 
debian/copyright-compatible statement of licence is the thing that takes 
most time (and I'd like to think package maintainers would already know) 
- i.e. what the Copyright: line should be and what the licence is.

Thanks,
