The relevant documention in the copyright-format 1.0 states:
"
An exception or clarification to a license is signalled in plain text,
by appending /with keywords exception/ to the short name. This document
provides a list of keywords that must be used when referring to the most
frequent exceptions. When exceptions other than these are in effect that
modify a common license by granting additional permissions, you may use
an arbitrary keyword not taken from the below list of keywords. When a
license differs from a common license because of added restrictions
rather than because of added permissions, a distinct short name should
be used instead of with keywords exception.
Only one exception may be specified for each license within a given
license specification. If more than one exception applies to a single
license, an arbitrary short name indicating that combination of multiple
exceptions must be used instead.
"

The current short name doesn't conform to the "with keyword exception"
syntax, but seems in common use for QT software.
I wouldn't worry too much about the short name syntax in this case, and
use the same license section as qtmultimedia-opensource-src for example:
http://sources.debian.net/src/qtmultimedia-opensource-src/5.3.1-4/debian/copyright/#L72
