Makes sense. I'll do this later.

Thanks, you have good eyes! I just added it to debian/copyright.

I don't think it's copyrightable. Seems, they just took over a concept or at most a formula.

Not copyrightable at all, in my eyes. There isn't really any similarity anymore.

Are there any other debian packages doing this?
And if it's not copyrightable, then why mentioning it in debian/copyright?
