Bug Description

the ubuntuone-client debian/copyright file is not formatted according to the (draft) Dep5 standard, and thus licenses and copyrights can't be mechanistically extracted reliably.

I've rewritten it to be consistent with the current spec (http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/dep/web/deps/dep5.mdwn?op=file&rev=135) and will propose a merge soon.

Come to think of it, my modifications in the merge proposal were made against lp:ubuntu/ubuntuone-client. Not the trunk of this LP project, so that could be incorrect. (I am still figuring out how all this stuff fits together ;)

At any rate, the only changes of interest were in the debian/copyright file. If you'd like a fresh branch/merge proposal to rectify, I will do that.

You have to wrap the lines after 80 characters (CC-BY-SA-3.0 license lines are too long).

The 80 chars per line applies to debian/changelog too (check lintian!).

I have adjusted debian/copyright slightly:
* one line was still too long (81 chars)
* merged the two CC-BY-SA-3.0 blocks (Files: *.svg, ./data/icons/*)
* removed trailing spaces
* moved the separate license blocks to the copyright section
