This kind of package is funny.  The actual packaged thing is the script,
i.e. for-postinst/Makefile, which downloads and installs the a non-free
package.  So the package's license is the only one that needs to be put
into the ITP bug report header.

Feel free to change it to an actual license if you want, rather than
"public domain"
