Dear Maintainer,

there seems to be no file debian/copyright in your package. According to Debian policy 12.5 [1]:

  A copy of the file which will be installed in
  /usr/share/doc/package/copyright should be in
  debian/copyright in the source package.
It is not sufficient to create such a copyright file while
building the binary package.

Thanks!
  Thorsten

Just for the record, the debian/rules file generate debian/copyright like this during build:

  cat debian/copyright.header COPYING > debian/copyright

Once the file is converted to a machine readable copyright file, I
guess this build rule will have to be dropped and this issue
considered fixed.

d/copyright is no longer generated.
