Thanks for asking. It is highly unusual to choose a different license for the files in debian/ than for the package itself, and only makes things unnecessarily complicated. What’s wrong with taking the copyright file from the template-debian/ directory and just replacing the bits? I.e. replace "foo" by "hgettext", past the license instead of "This is the text of the foo license." and insert copyright years and names as reqiured. This is what I always do. (If you agree, please also change the copyright file in setlocale accordingly.)
