yes, but the sentence goes on: "..., or the original HIDAPI license as 
outlined in the LICENSE.txt,
LICENSE-gpl3.txt, LICENSE-bsd.txt, and LICENSE-orig.txt"

The GPL is ok, but the BSD-Style license is not at all unambiguous and 
what is the contents of LICENSE.txt and LICENSE-orig.txt?
They should be "located at the root of the source distribution.", but 
they are not, hence my request.

Yes but this is just a part of the license, at least the "... or BSD-3" 
is missing. According to Debian policy 12.5 a "verbatim copy of its 
distribution license(s)" need to appear in your debian/copyright.
