The copyright file should list the license of all files, not tell you

The LPPL should be in the copyright file, not an external one.

I am closing this bug now.  The license file is generated from the
license info in the Catalogue, and therefore is complete. Infos for
every single file are in the referenced file "Licenses.gz".

This means that the woeful format of the copyright file is fixed.

All other issues in the bug report are also elsewhere. Converting the
copyright file to the new automatically parseable format is a different
issue, and if any detail is missing or wrong this is a separate bug,
too.

Regards, Frank
