Bug Description

Quickly does not implement Debian DEP5 machine readable copyright file correclty.

Files: *
Copyright: 2012 bow-peep
License: GPL-3
  On Debian systems , the complete text of the GNU General Public License version 2 can be found in "/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-3.

This is incorrect as there should be a standalone License paragraph. http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ states, and I quote

"Use of a standard short name does not override the Debian Policy requirement to include the full license text in debian/copyright, nor any requirements in the license of the work regarding reproduction of legal notices. This information must still be included in the License field, either in a stand-alone License paragraph or in the relevant files paragraph."

If you are going to use the DEP5 specification then please implement it correctly.
