DEP-5 is not a requirement as per Policy, but many sponsors encourage
(or even demand) the use of DEP-5, and it seems to be gaining more and
more momentum in Debian. So I'd encourage you to use DEP-5 as I think
it improves the clarity and readability of debian/copyright, but
that's just my personal opinion, and my opinion doesn't really count
for all that much, given that I'm not a DD and I can't sponsor your
package.

I've also taken a quick look at your fizsh package, and I've noticed
that your debian/watch is broken. Run "uscan --report-status" and
you'll see what I mean. It's pretty simple to fix though...

Other than that, your package seems to be fine. :)
