Bug#1111126: Copyright format does not explain how to describe a license text itself

The firmware-nonfree source package has files under many different
licenses, so there is no catch-all '*' pattern in debian/copyright.

As a result, lintian complains:

W: firmware-nonfree source: file-without-copyright-information Apache-2 [debian/copyright]

I think Lintian is just wrong to be warning about d/copyright.

What do you want it to do, not warn about files not covered by Files: patterns, thus removing the file-without-copyright-information tag?
