Bug#915384: lintian: check that debian/copyright has an entry for each component



tags 915384 + moreinfo
thanks

Hi Xavier,

I don't 100% understand what would be the problem here if an entry is
missing, what "it could be safe" means and whether the "<" etc are
part of the name etc... 

But to save some back-and-forth, it might be easier to provide:

 * An example "good" case.

 * A "bad" case.

 * A short paragraph explaining why this is bad (for me and for the
   eventual tag description).

Thanks in advance.
