it isn’t? It should be... Feel free to improve the template in any way
sou think it ought to be improved.

Just making sure: We are both talking about
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-haskell/tools.git;a=tree;f=template-debian
right?

In that case I’d would have suggested something like

        Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
        Upstream-Name: haskell-setlocale
        Source: hackage.haskell.org/package/setlocale 
        
        Files: *
        License: Public Domain
         The author of this package, Lukas Mai, placed this package in
        the 
         Public Domain.
        
        Files: debian/*
        License: Public Domain
         The maintainer of this package, Sven Bartscher, placed this 
          packaging in the Public Domain.
        
but honestly, I don’t care too much.

Greetings,
Joachim
