What check-copyright script do you mean?
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=check-copyright&mode=filename&suite=unstable&arch=any
shows only these:
* /usr/share/gnulib/check-copyright in gnulib 20140202+stable-2.
It only checks the licenses of gnulib modules, which gnumach
does not use. The latest version is online at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/check-copyright
and has no functional differences.
* /usr/share/gocode/src/github.com/syncthing/syncthing/script/check-copyright.go
in golang-github-syncthing-syncthing-dev 0.14.4+dfsg1-1.
It ignores licenses and only checks for missing copyright notices.
