Fixes for Extras Apps
Currently, apps packaged with Quickly need several changes before the ARB can publish them. Quickly is a little behind the current ARB requirements, but will be updated in future releases. These are the files that need to be edited:
debian/copyright
Change Format-Specification: to Format: and update the URL to the current version of the spec "http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/"
Change Name: to Upstream-Name:. Change Maintainer: to Upstream-Contact:.
Delete the two extra Copyright: lines (they have random extra text at the end of the line that looks like "</property>"). Add angle brackets around the email address in the remaining Copyright: line.
Duplicate the License: line, with an extra line between the two.
