Bug Description
cliofetion links against libssl but is GPL-licensed. The code is accompanied by an openssl linkage exception in License.OpenSSL, so it appears to be legal for us to distribute binaries, but this linking exception needs to be reproduced in debian/copyright.
debian/copyright is also not fully compliant with the DEP5 spec. You have the debian packaging license listed as:
File: debian/*
Copyright: 2010, Aron Xu <email address hidden>
License: GPL-2+
This is only allowed if there is a stand-alone 'License: GPL-2+' stanza that this refers to. It's not enough to repeat the same License value between the two paragraphs; it has to be factored out into its own paragraph.
Further, your second paragraph is missing a Files: declaration. When structured this way, DEP5 requires that you list 'Files: *' in this paragraph when you are using it as a default copyright declaration.
