Bug Description

Although the original Packaging Guide[1] and the Launchpad project page for the new guide[2] both indicate a Creative Commons - Attribution Share Alike license, the online versions [3][4] of the new guide only indicate a copyright notice on every page:
© Copyright 2010-2012, Ubuntu Developers

The original packaging guide [1] indicates:
" The Packaging Guides on this wiki are no longer being actively maintained. The information here is being ported to a new guide. You can file bugs and help to write it by visiting the guide's Launchpad project.

The information will be retained on this wiki until it is all incorporated into the guide."

As such, I assume the derived/ported guide has the same licensing.

The Creative Commons - Attribution Share Alike license should be clearly indicated in all generated material for the new packaging guides.

Please do not "fix-release" this until it has been.

I've tried to add the license name to LaTeX files in a different ways (using a 'footer' option, and modifying the author string), but none of them worked well. Does anybody have better ideas?
