Multi-license debian/* in Debian's MATE packages

HI all,

I want to bring a minor issue to our awareness. I just looked at  
mate-doc-utils and prepared a new revision (-3).

The update includes a slight change to debian/copyright [1].  
Background of this is that files esp. patches in debian/* should  
always match the upstream license. If several licenses occur in the  
upstream files, debian/patches/* files have to be compatible with all  
those licenses. Easiest thing to do then is multi-licensing everything  
in debian/*.

Everyone agrees? Esp. Stefano (as I have changed the licenses of stuff  
that you are copyright holder of)? Before I have not received a yes  
from Stefano here, I will not upload that package. Thanks

Greets,
Mike
