I would like to request to take the next available DEP number (17 as
of today). It is about using the SPDX specification as an alternative
to the machine-readable debian/copyright (previously DEP-5). An
initial discussion was started on debian-devel [1], and since there
have been no large objections I would like to formalize it.

For now, am I the only driver of this DEP. I would like to maintain
the DEP in the DEP Team's repository [2].

The header for the DEP:

Title: Usage of SDPX documents in debian/copyright
DEP: 17
State: DRAFT
Date: 2021-02-08
Drivers: Stephan Lachnit <stephanlachnit@debian.org>
URL: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep17
Source: https://salsa.debian.org/dep-team/deps/-/blob/master/web/deps/dep17.mdwn
License: https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html
Abstract:
 Accept SPDX documents as format for debian/copyright to use upstream copyright
 and licensing information, reducing manual copyright review labor.

Once the DEP number is confirmed, I will upload an initial draft in
the following days.

Regards,
Stephan
