Did you tried uscan?

Because exactly this was boring I did some effort to find a more general
solution and since the last couple of devscripts releases this is
accepted and documented.  Your are correct that

   http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/

does not document this and there is an open bug against Debian policy
about this.  Sometimes code is in advance of all possible documentation
but uscan.1 has it.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
