just in case it was still unclear, despite of Vincent's reply:
debian/copyright is mandatory [1], its format not. Technically you are
allowed to formulate the file as you want, as long as it is there and
has all information needed [2][3].
DEP-5 is a draft for now, but may end up as a official policy at some
point. As Vincent says, it is widely used for all newly introduced
packages and mandatory for some sponsors.
