That looks very nice at first glance. On second thought, I wonder if
"Debian Policy List Members" is an entity that you can legally assign a
copyright to. Will the copyright be enforcable? Does it still make any
sense to have such a copyright notice if not?
Perhaps you should consult debian-legal and maybe debian-policy too.
