+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2016-02-20&lt;/strong&gt;: I got a tip from Mike Gabriel
+on how to use licensecheck and cdbs to create a draft copyright file
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+licensecheck --copyright -r `find * -type f` | \
+  /usr/lib/cdbs/licensecheck2dep5 &gt; debian/copyright.auto
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;He mentioned that he normally check the generated file into the
+version control system to make it easier to discover license and
+copyright changes in the upstream source.  I will try to do the same
+with my packages in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2016-02-21&lt;/strong&gt;: The cme author recommended
+against using -quiet for new users, so I removed it from the proposed
+command line.&lt;/p&gt;
