On the other hand, I don't see the point of using debian/copyright to
document copyright information of files that are not part of the source
package.

Like I said, if it is scripted, I believe it belongs in debian/rules,
and only there. If it isn't scripted. README.source seems to me to be
ideal.
If we do put the stripping information into debian/copyright, can
someone please suggest a concrete way to actually do that? What is
actually needed to implement the stripping automatically in
get-orig-source?
