Title:
  Package copyright file omits Apache 2 license

Status in cloud-init:
  Invalid
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed
Status in cloud-init source package in Zesty:
  Confirmed
Status in cloud-init source package in Artful:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
