as recently was mentioned on #-dfsg, there's a not yet standardized 
'Reference: /usr/share/common-licenses/[...]' field people are using, 
and just switched to, too, e.g.:

https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/g/gapless/copyright-4.6.1-1

how about moving from license 'summaries' to 'references' instead?
