-# Appendix: Note about the use of this format in Debian
-
-The Debian Policy (§12.5) demands that each package is accompanied by a file,
-`debian/copyright` in source packages and `/usr/share/doc/package/copyright` in
-binary packages, that contains a verbatim copy of its copyright and
-distribution license. In addition, it requires that copyrights must be
-extractable by mechanical means. This proposal for machine-readable copyright
-and license summary files has been crafted for Debian's use, but it is our hope
-that other software distributions, as well as upstream developers will adopt
-it, so that review efforts can be easily reproduced and shared. 
-
-The copyright of the Debian packaging and the history of package maintainers is
-simply indicated in a **`Files: debian/*`** paragraph.
