Taking care of all the things lintian complains about, is a good start. 
The file format is described in [1]. The procedure is to manually check each 
file whether there are any license information in it. As tools like 
licensecheck and debmake and whatever are good, but might miss strange 
formats, the best thing is to look into each file. That's why this is the 
most boring part of maintenance ..

That would be fine.
