Please, take a look at the following
<http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile>

And don't miss the last part:

        Packages distributed under the UCB BSD license, the Artistic
        license, the GNU GPL, and the GNU LGPL should refer to the
        files /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD,
        /usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic,
        /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL, and
        /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL respectively, rather than
        quoting them in the copyright file.
