It is included in the bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642833#21
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=21;filename=copyright;att=1;bug=642833
To recap:
config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none [error]
lintian [no errors]
I assumed these both check the file in the same manner; Can't tell if
config-edit errs here or lintian. Just reporting my findings.
