Well, I tend to assume that the fact that there is a lintian warning
for this shows that in some way the project wants to go the way of
machine-readable copyright files. This is also something we enforce
quite strongly on new packages, so some effort, if humanly feasible,
could be worth it. At least, when another opportunity (such as
unrelated changes triggering an upload) appears.

I'm fine with not caring about this at all, but I think it's worth
exploring the possibility of fixing this for a low cost, if we can.
