[Arvan David Pritchard <apritchard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

In the Ubuntu package source, packages/debian/copyright says the License
is either GPL-3 or Apache 2.0 and includes summaries of both licenses
with links to the full license texts.

debian/copyright says that the license is either GPL-3 or Apache 2.0,
but only includes the GPL-3 summary and link (together with the MIT
licence terms for cloudinit/boto_utils.py)

I believe the terms of the Apache licence and the terms the LICENSE file
require the inclusion of the Apache 2 summary and link in the
debian/copyright file.

cloud-init.tar is not relevant to this issue.
