OK, I had a look into the packages. I see you have a copyright
under usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright (possibly coming from
debian/copyright in your source package, but I can't see that).
Perhaps the Ubuntu installer can see better if you follow the
standard syntax outlined in
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
Basically, in its minimal form, something like
Format: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

But I'm still guessing.
