I think this bug violates Policy 12.5, not 2.2.1 if CC by-sa 2.5
can be upgraded to CC by-sa 3.0 and then meets DFSG.

The point is the incorrect information in debian/copyright.  For
now, please update debian/copyright as follows:

- include the upstream statement quoting from
  http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edrdg/licence.html
- mention that the Debian package is distributed under CC by-sa 3.0
  according to section 4.b of CC by-sa 2.5
- include a verbatim copy of CC by-sa 3.0 quoting from
  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode
