A bit related to the discussion in #1112

Debian introduced a machine-readable format for adding licensing information to packages and it looks like the proposal (https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep5/) is accepted and now "1.0". Should we consider adding those?

Some challenges may be to mark individual files? (i.e. there may be files having a different license).
