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?
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

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

FWIW; the containerd.io package already has this file, but it looks to be incorrect, as it also includes runc, which is not mentioned in the file;
