Any script to populate debian/copyright file ?

Hi Debian-Mentors!

Is anyone aware/have a script to populate debian/copyright file ?
I'm trying to build a package for irrtoolset
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...i?bug92333
but the source code has multiple licenses, one file licence a, another b
and so on.
I've told that I have to list each of it as a separate entry, so I did:
http://ipcluster.com/deb/irrtoolset/ looks like it's not good since lintian
complains.
I've read the policy but still confused, if some one can help, please take
a look.

No idea.

If you intend to package this software, then please retitle that bug to ITP and
set yourself as the owner.

What are the lintian messages you need help with ?

I've read the policy but still confused, if some one can help, please take
a look.



Do you have specific questions on debian-policy ?
