[Python-modules-team] Bug#494495: python-xlib: debian/copyright missing verbatim distribution license

[Tim Retout]

Package: python-xlib
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.5

Currently python-xlib's debian/copyright is unclear; it has a licence
statement for the packaging (GPLv2 only) but this does not match the upstream
code (GPLv2 or later, I believe).

Having searched the source of the current version, the licence statement in
debian/copyright is not there, so a verbatim copy of the upstream distribution
licence is definitely lacking.
