You should include the license information in the copyright file, as stated in: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile In the case of "GPL is fine", I suppose you can simply put GPL as the license and put a reference to common-licenses. In the other cases, if it's not clear to you, ask the author again or copy the entire e-mail text verbatim to the copyright file.
