You need to copy all license and copyright information from everywhere
in the source file to debian/copyright. So if some files are under a
different license as the whole package (as it is the case here), you’ll
have to add additional "Files:" stanzas.

Also, all copyright must be mentioned. 
 2005 Jesper Louis Andersen <jlouis@mongers.org>
is missing in debian/copyright.

But this package is really in a bad shape (upstream-wise), with only
three source files, two of which have a separate license than the whole
package. Maybe you should contact upstream to clear things up and put
everything under _one_ license and include all copyright holders
in .cabal.

Greetings,
Joachim
