(Please not that I work on this bug currently. Please contact me if
you intend to do an upload).

The copyright file claims atm:
  asclock is GPL'ed, (c) Beat Christen, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Read /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL for the complete license.

This is incomplete (cf. README:
      Copyright (C) Beat Christen, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
      Copyright (C) Patrick Rogan, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and also the list of CONTRIBUTORS) and wrong,
as /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL points to GPL v3, wheras asclock is
either GPL v2 (in this case it must point to
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2) (if you stick to README) or

  No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any
  way whatsoever.  Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use
  this program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept
  intact.

if you stick to the man page. 

Please clarify the actual copyright and update debian/copyright. Since
the README file appears to be newer, I think the following
debian/copyright should do the trick:
This package was debianized by Marcelo E. Magallon
