Can you copy the owner names out of the NOTICE file into the Copyright
field? "Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation" is not the
copyright holder, so does not conform to
http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat#head-d1d2adac8db71e98883d5b052e3ad1760b51ed80
which is the specification of MaRCopyright that I know about.
Hope that helps,
