Well, you look for copyright notices in the code we ship so the source
code obviously already contains the corresponding copyright notice.

Why does it have to be duplicated in debian/copyright? That's more than
what the license requests us to do.

Is it because we duplicate the license terms which does contain the above
sentence?

Cheers,
