> [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/                                                                                     

Generating the debian/copyright is really time-consuming.  I wrote a                                                                                        
Python script that (sort of) automates the process.  It is attached                                                                                         
below.  As an example, also attached below is the stdout output when                                                                                        
running it from the top-level directory of the octave-optim package.                                                                                        

Note that files and years/authors are grouped in a sensible way.  The                                                                                       
output is not 100% perfect and will need further edition.  The script                                                                                       
appears to correctly detect the (L)GPL terms and the license version, but                                                                                   
only if the standard text recommended by the FSF is present.                                                                                                

Tell me what you think, please.  Should we include this script in                                                                                           
octave-pkg-dev?
