Hi,

the file looks good so far. Maybe you can make your life a bit easier by
merging some file paragraphs. If all files in a directory have the same
licence, but different copyright lines, you can make one "Files: dir/*"
paragraph and list all the copyright lines in that one field. Most
packages also have a "Files: *" paragraph for the most common licence at
the beginning and overwrite that subsequently with the following paragraphs.

Best regards,
Tobias Hansen
