Thank you for the new patch, Ben.

Comments:

- please move the License-Grant field to the end of the list of fields
to avoid any renumbering

- please strip the rewordings that you've made to other parts of the
document, so this patch addresses this bug alone.

If you want to make those changes, please file separate 'informative'
bugs against debian-policy; these do not need to be seconded and are
applied at the discretion of the policy editors.

- I think you've used too many spaces to indent the License-Grant text
in the examples. Shouldn't it be just one space?

- since the field is optional, I don't think we should modify every
example to include License-Grant. Perhaps consider reducing the
number of times you add it?

- note that this bug doesn't apply to policy's HEAD anymore because
we've switched to rST; it would be nice if you could rebase but I will
happily do this on your behalf as I was partly responsible for the
switch

Did you find a conflict? I have pulled the latest HEAD (commit hash f0f316c879a7e60e), and the ‘./copyright-format-1.0.xml’ remains the
only source document of the “Machine-readable debian/copyright file” specification.

The file doesn't appear to have changed enough to cause any conflict;
the changes in this patch still apply fine to current HEAD, in my
tests.

Perhaps you still have a branch that converts that document to reST?

Sorry, I forgot that we haven't actually converted that file.
