Detailed copyright files can be generated by cme. You can either run
"cme update dpkg-copyright " [1] or "scan-copyrights" [2] . (you need to
install cme and lib-config-model-dpkg-perl)
The first one tries its best to merge current copyright with existing debian/copyright file.
The second one outputs on stdout coalesced copyright information
gathered from source files.
Neither tools are perfect, but they produce information quite close
to the required result.
