It's not just enough for that; it has to be a license specifically
being used as a license under which a work in Debian is being
distributed. [IE, in debian/copyright or specifically included by
reference from there.]
For example, a second copy of the GPL in a package under the GPL would
not be acceptable, nor would a copy of the GPL in a package not under
the GPL.
