Look for the pristine-tar utility, and read its documentation. When importing 
new upstreams, you can pass a flag to git-import-orig to do it for you, but 
since you already imported it, you will have to fiddle manually with pristine-
tar.

Some files say "GPL version 2 or any later version" while others say "GPL 
version 2 only". You have to note that in the copyright file.

You can put each dependency on its own line, provided you start each line with 
whitespace. See the jack control file for comparison.
Wordwrap means that no line should be longer than a certain limit. This limit 
is usually 80.
