Copyright notices have a specific place in Debian, and are always placed there.Moving them would violate the law.
What law?
Furthermore, we expect copyright notices to also indicate the terms under which they are (or are not) licensed.The law does not require this, nor does the GPL.
Clause 1 of the GPL requires notices of the GPL to remain AFAICT.
You as a group are attempting to coerce using the market leverage that Debian genuinely does possess and seems willing and aggressively eager to use.
And you as a person are attempting to use the market leverage that ReiserFS genuinely does possess... It's still not a very good forcing device.
