Just to be clear, a proper copyright notice looks like "Copyright (C)
2004, 2005 Justin Pryzby", possibly omitting the "(C)".
The problem is that dh_make used to give a ./debian/copyright of the
form: "Copyright: <boilerplate here>", and lots of people changed it
to "Copyright: GPL.", confusing "copyright" and "license". I have a
large number of opened bugs [0] about current packages whose
/u/s/d/x/copyright looks like that.
dh_make now [1] uses "Copyright Holder: <boilerplate>" to make the
difference more clear.
