License statement of the debconf specification

[Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org>]

While rewriting the debian/copyright file for debian-policy in the new 1.0
format, I noticed that the complete license statement for the debconf
specification actually in the document is:

    <legalnotice>
      <para>
        This text is copyright by the authors under the terms of the
        BSD license, sans advertising clause.
      </para>
    </legalnotice>

This isn't really the greatest license practice.  :)  So I'd like to fix
this.  I think the best fix is to stick the next of the BSD license in the
legal notice (which is unfortunate, since it's a bit long, but it feels
like the best thing to do).

I assume that the terms of the license that's attempting to state is the
three-clause BSD license:

Does just sticking that into the <legalnotice> make sense to everyone?  Is
there something I should do instead?  (Notice clause 3 above; that was my
guess as to what to fill into the BSD template for this document.)
