Copying the license text is correct. However, your debian/copyright says:
Files: src/cxx/libraries/prime/beep2blas.hh
Copyright: 2002 - 2007 The Maxtrix Template Library authors
2007 - 2012 Bengt Sennblad<bengt.sennblad@ki.se>

...
License: MTL

Copyright (c) 1998-2001 University of Notre Dame. All rights reserved.
Authors: Andrew Lumsdaine, Jeremy G. Siek, Lie-Quan Lee
.
This file is part of the Matrix Template Library
.
According to DEP5 the Copyright field should be attached to the Files and here
you give some additional and even conflicting information as free text in the
license paragraph. The relation between
"The Maxtrix Template Library authors" and
"Bengt Sennblad<bengt.sennblad@ki.se>" and
"The Trustees of Indiana University" and
"University of Notre Dame" as well as
"Andrew Lumsdaine, Jeremy G. Siek, Lie-Quan Lee"
remains unclear. My reading of the copyright would be:
Files: src/cxx/libraries/prime/beep2blas.hh
Copyright: 2001-2005 The Trustees of Indiana University. All rights reserved.
1998-2001 University of Notre Dame. All rights reserved
Andrew Lumsdaine, Jeremy G. Siek, Lie-Quan Lee
2007-2012 Bengt Sennblad <bengt.sennblad@ki.se>
License: MTL
which specifies former authors and the later changes done by Bengt Sennblad.
The specification of the "License: MTL" paragraph should come without the
extra Copyright information in the beginning - all else is fine.
Kind regards
Andreas.
