IMHO, any work *may* fall under copyright. Whether it actually does
probably depends on the jurisdiction, but adding explicit license makes
all doubts disappear.

This does not mean that I want to force all of you to add this, it means
I feel uncomfortable about the missing packaging copyright in the
packages I consider uploading.

FWIW, this is already included in the dh_make templates.
