I have not checked but I'd say every Debian Med package has DEP5 format.
When I'm touching any Debian Science package for whatever reason I'm
also converting d/copyright to DEP5.

On the Blends web pages the prospective packages in Git have a license
field (see for example med-bio task[1]). (I'm just realising that the
packages in new queue show "License: unknown" which is probably a bug
in the web sentinel code.)
The machine readable gatherer is parsing d/copyright if it is DEP5
formated - so I'm quite picky about this.
Kind regards
Andreas.
