DEP-5: Please clarify the meaning of "same licence and share copyright holders"

[Fabian Greffrath <greffrath@leat.rub.de>]

Hi -devel,

I am sorry if it's just me who doesn't understand this sentence, but 
please clarify the meaning of "...indicating files that have the same 
licence and share copyright holders." in the current DEP-5 proposal 
for the 'Files' field.

Imagine I have three files in the source: a, b and c.
File a is copyrighted by Person A, file b is copyrighted by Person B 
and file c is copyrighted by both Persons A and B. All files are 
licensed under the GPL.

Does this situation really require me do create three separate stanzas 
in debian/copyright like this

	Files: a
	Copyright: © A
	License: GPL
	
	Files: b
	Copyright: © B
	License: GPL
	
	Files: c
	Copyright: © A
	           © B
	License: GPL

instead of just the following

	Files: a, b, c
	Copyright: © A
	           © B
	License: GPL

?

If I understand the sentence in question correctly then the proposal 
really requires me to create all three stanzas... that's insane!

Please tell me I am wrong and I may combine the stanzas in to one.

cheers,
Fabian
