With the recent dicussion about improper package copyright files[1], I
would like to make sure the copyright files for the packages I maintain

that my initial copyright file is indeed lacking, but I'm not entirely
sure how to correct it. The files in the package are under differing
licenses. How, should these be listed in the copyright file?

Portions are released under other, compatible, terms:
**** insert all the stuff you had here. Make sure to put the "copyright
(C) year person" line up top of each. The words "all rights reserved"
go right after that (if they are there at all). ****
Make sure I got that long list of years and people right, too. Those
should probably be in contribution-importance order.
And put in the normal stuff like where to find GPL-2 on Debian systems,
where you downloaded the source, etc. And if there is any significant
packaging (i.e., you didn't just dh-make) then put a copyright and
license notice for that, too.

This sounds like you don't have permission to use those portions at
all...

Ugh, somewhere I lost the footnotes...
