Perhaps dpkg should be modified to automatically put the package maintainer's name at the top of a source .diff file before compressing it; these would remain "legal" diffs and since the unified diff information already includes date information, this, combined with the Project's strong preference for "pristine upstream tarballs", would probably serve to bring a lot of Debian packages automatically into compliance, if they're not already. -- G.
