Thanks for your NMU Cyril. However I think the above is excessive for a
simple FTBFS NMU for an otherwise maintained package.

For example the Makefile.{am,in} COPYING change: this is purely
cosmetic. I disagree that your solution is the best; maintaining patches
to upstream sources is a nuisance, while fixing things up afterwards in
debian/rules is easier.
