By the way, I don't remember having seen some feedback in the "making debian/copyright machine-interpretable" thread from ftp-masters about usefulness of the proposal for them, and since there is at least one package tentatively using the proposal for its copyright file (namely webkit) that went through NEW recently, it would be nice to hear from ftp-masters as to whether it helped them in their check, or if it doesn't change anything (until tools parsing the machine readable format come up).
