I looked at SPDX today (I should have done earlier), and wondered how DEP-5
would be useful in that context. One of the reasons I was in favor of
unbranding the DEP was to propose to upstream developers to use it, so that we
can forward the fruit of our efforts and make them useful outside the Debian
world. SPDX will change the situation a lot, and it may be less benefical to
forward a DEP-5 file than a SPDX file.

You are right, and my memory was wrong. I am terribly sorry. I checked my
mailboxes, and a private thread, it is me who raised the question of
unbranding. I am not sure however if it is my original idea, or if I picked it
somewhere else earlier.
If SPDX takes off, there is not much point unbranding DEP-5 anymore. Especially
if, as Russ suggests, the DEP it is integrated in the Debian Policy.
