I made the changes to filter out building of static libs for extra
packages. See [1]. Note that I rebased the changes from current
master, so if you checked out this branch, you'll have to merge the
changes back in.

About the copyright files, I'm not sure, but it seems debhelper is
ignoring the installation of the per package *.copyright files unless
they are in the debian directory at the start of a build. I'll look
into this later.
