Nothing wrong with your installation. Debian has a central place for
license files (/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL) so the package didn't
bother putting a copy in /usr/share/gramps . If you copy a file to
/usr/share/gramps/COPYING you will find that it is opened just fine.

The next upload will place a copy of the copyright file there. I could
also hard code the change into each upload and will consider doing
that. A better solution would be to have a simple way to specify the
location of the file to be opened at configure time. If it was simply
a matter of a little python I'd do that but messing with config files
seems (to me) to be more art than science.
