I created a simple manpage, covering the options the binary actually 
accepts on the command line.:)

Added an override for this, as the actual program is a jar binary.

Became obsolete as a manpage is now available, removed the override.

As the upstream does not provide a license in the tarball, it is advised 
[1] to use the debian/copyright file and put all the relevant 
information there.

The license, who, when an how was obtained is on the proper sections in 
the debian/copyright

This is out of my control but certainly I will suggest to the upstream 
to consider in the future this.
