Bad syntax in debian/copyright

[Michael Terry]

The debian/copyright file has bad syntax for some License lines.

"LGPL2 or later" should be "LGPL-2+"
"GPL-2 or later" should be "GPL-2+"

And the long description for the GPL license should include the full boilerplate like the LGPL one does, not just the pointer to common-licenses.

Oh, I also just realized that you need to add periods (" .") on blank lines in long descriptions. So:

"""

"""

Should become:

"""

 modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
 version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
 .

"""

And both the BSD and LGPL long descriptions could use a pointer to common-licenses too.

This bug was fixed in the package libdebconf-kde - 0.1~svn1167939-0ubuntu3

---------------
libdebconf-kde (0.1~svn1167939-0ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low

  * Fix dep5 formatting of debian/copyright (LP: #639726)
  * Add missing symbol to libdebconf-kde0.symbols
  * Remove -0ubuntu* suffixes from symbols, since we do not modify any methods
    making all symbols come from upstream
  * Fix typo in the svn url (kdereviewe -> kdereview) for the
    fetch_translations target in debian/rules
  * Fetch latest translations as of debian/changelog timestamp
