One way to solve this is to switch to plain text, because DEP5 is not
mandatory for debian-policy.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s-copyrightfile
"Use of this format is optional."
I'm personally not a fan of DEP5, because I have not yet seen any benefits,
only more work for the packager, and less readable for humans than plain text.
If there would be any benefit, then I'm not sure it's worth all the trouble.
