Good morning,

DEP-5 per file copyright is quite unmanageable (i.e. enormously
time-consuming if done properly) for non-tiny pieces of software if done
manually by editing debian/copyright.

I will happily apply patches that do the right thing with
"cme update dpkg-copyright", i.e. with debian/fill.copyright.blanks.yml
debian/copyright-scan-patterns.yml and debian/fix.scanned.copyright but
just doing a one-time conversion with huge maintenance costs afterwards
is not productive use of time.

cme seems to be only piece of softwar in Debian thatv tries to tackle
this, but the degree of handholding required via debian/*copyright* is
still huge.
