Why do you think these three paragraphs should be there?
Policy section 12.5 states
Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its
copyright and distribution license in the file
/usr/share/doc/package/copyright. This file must neither be
compressed nor be a symbolic link.
[...]
Packages distributed under the UCB BSD license, the Artistic
license, the GNU GPL, and the GNU LGPL should refer to the files
/usr/share/common-licenses/BSD,
/usr/share/common-licenses/Artistic,
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL, and
/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL respectively, rather than quoting
them in the copyright file.
This is what I do, isn't it?
All the best,
Jochen
