Thanks for your initiative, I was thinking about something like that
too after DebConf but forgot about it :/

Your proposal looks good to me, just two thoughts:
* I'd prefer the "Standalone License Section" format from
  http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat
  (and that's what dh-make-perl in trunk also implements)
* Please check that your patch and dh-make-perl propose/do the same
  thing.  

What's still not clear to me is if "Copyright: 2008, various members
of the Debian Perl Group, cf. debian/changelog" is ok or not ...
(It would make things easier ...)

Ack.
