I would like to weigh in on this issue.

I do not think lintian should be raising any notices about
debian/copyright if
only because the majority of it's content is beyond our control.
/Please/ read the bug logs before weighing in... :-)
This bug has been marked pending for a couple of weeks now; hopefully an
upload to unstable isn't too far away. To quote from the message in the log
immediately before yours:

# Drop debian-copyright-line-too-long
#
# * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
# + [ADB] Drop the "copyright line too long" check. Most of the issues
# it flags aren't easily fixable, particularly where the copyright file
# is (semi)automatically generated. (Closes: #491302, #491365, #491685)
