Package: qt4-x11
Version: 4.2.0
Severity: minor
Hi,
The current debian/copyright file says:
This package was debianized by Brian Nelson <pyro@debian.org> on Sun, 10
Apr 2005 21:23:49 -0700.
It was downloaded from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source

On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License
can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'.
but in the source, Trolltech headers most often start with a statement like:

so the copyright dates might be extended to:
Copyright (C) 1992-2006 Trolltech AS.
By the way the http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/opensource.html
url does not work anymore (this is an upstream problem).
But I also noticed there are many more copyright holders in
contributed source files.
Here is an excerpt of such copyright holders.

Should not these people be mentioned in the debian/copyright file too?
