Hm, I actually prefer the "stand-alone" licenses at the end because
they avoid duplication of the license boilerplate (for packages with
several Files: stanzas that all have the same license but different
copyright holders) and make reading of the Files: paragraphs easier.

In any case "License-Alias: Perl" is helpful to make the --pedantic
lintian happy (if there is a pointer to
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL).

Disclaimer: I have not followed the development of the proposed new
format closely.

I'm doing something similar with a local dir and a pbuilder hook, so
the burden is bearable :)
