Fixes for Extras Apps

Currently, apps packaged with Quickly need several changes before the ARB can publish them. Quickly is a little behind the current ARB requirements, but will be updated in future releases. These are the files that need to be edited:

debian/copyright

Change Format-Specification: to Format: and update the URL to the current version of the spec "http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/"

Change Name: to Upstream-Name:. Change Maintainer: to Upstream-Contact:.

Delete the two extra Copyright: lines (they have random extra text at the end of the line that looks like "</property>"). Add angle brackets around the email address in the remaining Copyright: line.

Duplicate the License: line, with an extra line between the two.

Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
Upstream-Name: myapp
Upstream-Contact: My Name <myname@example.com>
