Not as far as I know, but I wouldn't be surprised for ftp-masters
to reject a tarball without them. As a minimum, I'd snapshot
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ht2html into debian/copyright for this.

Yes, if it's clearly the wish of all copyright holders. However, as most
of ht2html has no copyright notices, I think you need them to state that
they are all of the ht2html copyright holders, too. This is icky.

Probably, but I can't think of a better one.
Hope that helps,
