All reports of copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file for the archive. The extended description of this tag is:
The copyright file refers to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD.

This file may be removed from a future version of base-files if references to it drop sufficiently.
Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 12.5 (Copyright information) for details.
