Bug#623035: javahelper: jh_makepkg should provide a DEP5 compatible copyright file

[Martin Quinson]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.32
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

as the title says, it would be better if jh_makepkg could provide a
DEP5 copyright template file since it would help this good practice
spreading in Debian.

Here is a simple example that could be used to that extend, if you want.
