I just tested it on libarray-diff-perl, after the conversion (Format,
Upstream-Name and Upstream-Contact) are done, but the
whitespace-seprated fields are not converted and lintian now will
report:

W: libarray-diff-perl source: comma-separated-files-in-dep5-copyright paragraph at line 24
N: 
N:    A list of files in the machine-readable copyright format appears to be
N:    separated by commas. The file list should be whitespace separated
N:    instead.

(Can open later a bugreport against libconfig-model-dpkg-perl)
