One could say that for new binaries packages whose src is already in
Debian, the ftp-masters skip the d/copyright review and only do the
other tasks. This should allow for way quicker transitions of simple
SOVERSION bumps.
In general I prefer a random d/copyright check more than one based on
the introduction of a new binary, as I just don't see any connection
between a new binary name and a change of copyright.
