I suggest you contacting debian-mentors@ to ask for help if you're not
sure this is an actual lintian bug.
Furthermore, ITPs are meant to be sent out *before* starting to work on
the package, so that other people can be aware someone is working on it
and do not duplicate human forces. Are you actually talking about a
RFS, maybe?

The issue here is that you missed a column ':' between "Copyright" and
the data.
The dep-5 copyright format follows the RFC 822 for, thus is made of
paragraphs with key-value pairs, separated by a column.
Please, confirm us this is the issue, so we can close this bug (or close
it yourself, if that's the case).

and that way you broke the .dsc
