Version: 0.11.55-1.1
Tags: patch
Severity: minor

Accorting to http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html
debian/copyright file must conform to:

- Its not enough to have the following two-liner:
 | On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License
 | can be found in the `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL' file.

 There are license headers, like the one used for GPL in the example below, you
 should use those.

- Ideally you include a license statement for your Debian packaging
 also.

But debian/copyright file gentoo contain only two-liner license header
and none license statement about Debian packagin.
