The reason is that you said GNU/GPL, which is incorrect. "GNU/Linux" means "a combination of the GNU system and the Linux kernel". "GNU GPL" means "the GPL, as part of the GNU system", similar to "GNU Emacs" or "the GNU C compiler". There is no such thing as "GNU/GPL". The copyright file doesn't contain this error, so that's fine. However, it also doesn't contain the recommended paragraph from the GPL itself (the thing which should also be at the top of every source file). The source files instead point to doc/COPYING, which contains it, so I suppose that is fine. However, you should have the full contents of it in debian/copyright as well, because it is installed in the binary package so users know the copyright without first getting the source. In particular, there is an exception for linking to Qt, which you don't even mention in debian/copyright. Such mistakes can easily be avoided by copy+pasting the contents into debian/copyright.
