Hi. I took a stab at creating a debian/copyright file too, see attached
manually created copy.
What may have changed since last time is that there is a tool
'licenserecon' in Debian that verify correctness of the file (at least
compared to 'licensecheck' outputs). It can be run offline by invoking
'lrc' in the Debian package directory, and also integrated into a Salsa
pipeline, one output of a run is here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jas/libtasn1/-/jobs/6492561
Alas lrc seems to parse 'Files:' wildcards a bit different than DEP5, so
you may run into lintian pedantic complains meanwhile. See
<https://bugs.debian.org/1086136>. Hopefully this can be resolved.
Btw, the licensing of debian/* files are not clear anywhere, I leave
that as an exercise. :) My gitlog2copyright tool suggests a relevant
copyright snippet, although I don't know whe license is intended:
