Thanks Paul, in the end I found myself at ease with 'decopy'.
I'm not using it to generate the whole debian/copyright, but just the
copyright entries for lua/lexers/*.lua. These are added to
debian/copyright after some manual tweaking. This procedure is
documented in the Comment: section of the resulting copyright file:

https://github.com/paride/vis/blob/debian/sid/debian/copyright

that I also improved in other ways, really taking extra care.
Copyright entries for the lua lexers are nicely coalesced.

I uploaded an upgraded version of the package to mentors:
