May I suggest using the machine readable copyright format described at
http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat from the start? Since
the audit is going to be a huge task, it would be good to document it
in as formal way as possible. I made a partial conversion of the
current audit (files, copyright and license sections only) to this
format. You can find it attached to this mail.

At least it works well here with the dpkg from lenny. Looking at the
size of the source package and the potential problems with missing
licenses etc. I don't think the upload to the archive will happen very
soon :)
