Hi Andreas,

the GPL is quite a complex license, so I am reluctant to add it to a work that
is not using it upstream.  I would suggest the CeCILL license of “same as
Upstream” for the debian directory.  We can add a comment section to mention
the local copy of the GPL, since it is mentionne in the CeCILL license itself
it does not harm.

Apart from this, I have reformatted the file.  The problem was that some of the
fields need to be indented and the empty lines escaped like in Debian control
data files.

Cheers,
