Ah, of course you're right. The copyright statement needs to be in a
“Files: debian/*” stanza.

(That seems strange to me: hard to use if using ‘git-buildpackage’? I
think you mean the opposite sense “not too hard to use if you use
‘git-buildpackage’ workflow”.)

Yes, I agree that in 2016, with upstream support effectively dead and
with common workflows evolving beyond what Bazaar can do, maintaining
packages in a Bazaar repository is only becoming more of a hindrance.
I am steadily adapting each of my packages to Git.
