Final Comment

The libcperciva/ directory contains files under a BSD-2-Clause license (see libcperciva/COPYRIGHT).
However, debian/copyright does not have an entry for libcperciva/*. The fallback Files: * entry incorrectly applies the restrictive "Commercial" license to these BSD-2-Clause files.

Please add an entry for libcperciva/* with the correct copyright statements.

Also, please update the confusing comment in lines 6 and 7.
