You can do this with cme. Either launch cme GUI with 'cme edit dpkg-copyright'. You can paste the license content in the tree widget on the left side. See [1] for more details Or you can try the fuse interface: $ cd pkg_dir $ mkdir fuse $ cme fusefs dpkg-copyright -fuse-dir fuse/ $ ls fuse Comment Copyright Disclaimer Files Files-Excluded Format Global-License License Source Upstream-Contact Upstream-Name $ ls fuse/License/ LGPL-2.1 $ cat fuse/License/LGPL-2.1/text This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it [snip] $ mkdir fuse/License/Test $ echo "yada yada" > fuse/License/Test/text $ fusermount -u fuse $ git diff diff --git a/debian/copyright b/debian/copyright index b631507..913af34 100644 --- a/debian/copyright +++ b/debian/copyright @@ -18,3 +18,6 @@ License: LGPL-2.1 .
