You can also use (from devscripts package):
licensecheck --copyright -r .
This will (try ) to list the varioous copyright and licenses found in each
file. Take the result with a grain of salt.
Then you can do also (from cdbs package):
/usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5
Then you can polish the result with your favorite editor or with
cme edit dpkg-copyright
(install also libconfig-model-tkui-perl) for the latter.
