I might consider removing all IETF copyrighted material from the SVN
repository, should that helps avoiding accidental re-occurence of that
mistake.

What exactly was the problem according to ftp master? I mean, was it
incomplete debian/copyright file or something more fundamental to the package
itself?

In the first case, I doubt it's worth arguing with FTP masters on what sounds
like a pure matter of principle to me, plus I would be very surprised if that
lead to anything. Adding one line to copyright holder and a few lines at the
end of the copyright file is not going to kill anyone (I hope). If someone
has a more FTP-master-friendly implementation of anything they didn't like
(MD5?), that's a possible option as well.
