Acknowledged. I was trying to revert that change and saw you already
did it in [1]. Thanks.
Also thanks for the link. I was trying to find more explanations
regarding Copyright concepts. This also explains why some DDs consider
the contents under `debian/' not copyrightable because the lack of
originality.
Anyway, in normal case, I would think adding oneself to the copyright
list of `File: debian/*' when doing any changes is acceptable as the
changes reflects the intention of oneself to improve the package, even
only incrementally.
