Bug#1074413: elpa-web-mode: Clarify license of Debian packaging

[Xiyue Deng <manphiz@gmail.com>]

Package: elpa-web-mode
Version: 16.0.21-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-emacsen@lists.debian.org, Thomas Koch <thomas@koch.ro>, Thomas Koch <thk@debian.org>

When working on updating the packaging of web-mode, it is noticed that
the Debian packaging work of `debian/*' does not have a copyright holder
documented in debian/copyright file[1].  How the copyright of the
packaging should be interpreted is still being discussed[2].  Meanwhile,
it would make it easier if Thomas can clarify the copyright license and
status of his packaging work, which will make it easier to process
moving forward.

Besides web-mode, there are other packages maintained by Thomas that
seem to share the same issue, including editorconfig[3],
emacs-lsp-haskell[4], git-auto-commit-mode[5], and org-drill[6].

Therefore I'm CCing Thomas in hope to receive his reply on clarifying
this matter, and if possible, for all the aforementioned packages.

Thanks in advance.
