It may not simply be the person
Somebody uploading packages where they are also the upstream may know
the copyright situation inside out and just cut and paste
debian/copyright from one package to the next and it is always correct.
Somebody ambitious who works on packages they are less familiar with
or really monstrous packages may well miss things from time to time
and be deterred by such a system. Then we have less people willing to
attack such monstrous packages.
Ultimately, the person who made the package may be using it anyway and
such delays may only inconvenience other users of a package, including
the rest of the community.
