Reproducing whatever upstream say about copyright and licensing is
probably sufficient and the right thing to do regardless.

This approach carries the risk that non-free source code could still be published in Debian. As a community, we should take care to develop processes to minimize the risk of liability.

Whenever I update debian/copyright, I always rely exclusively on copyright statements made by upstream, specifically within the version of the code I'm packaging.

Are you suggesting a stricter standard?  Have I been performing this task negligently?
