PS: Hints to make your life easier:
- there are tools that might help https://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReviewTools
  (probably you know already, as some lines look tool-generated ;-)
)
- you can combine entries, we don't need per-file accurary.
For example (just picking 3 _short_ paragraphs from your d/copyright) ; it also applies to the other paragraphs

Can be shortened to:

IOW: As long as the license is the same, you can combine the sections and just add
the respective copyright holders to the list  Also, if you have something like (making this example up)
You can also combine copyright years, so no need to have two lines if only the years differ. Just extend the span if needed…

Hope that helps a bit.
