Well, there's of course a large list of protocols one could use to download that, but more importantly, to my understanding the debian/copyright file is freeform. I've got a package where the upstream source was mailed to the packager, and there's nothing that prevents that. *If* you want to check for this (I think it's overkill) you should match on that "<fill in http/ftp site>" string because then you're sure that someone didn't edit the template. In any other case you can't judge if it's right or wrong. Thijs
