Which was not copy pasted as is, I thought about the problem and
modified those lines.

I did try to find the copyright notice from the upstream project but
that solution was not accepted either.  I did not mis-paste it by
accident. I manually added that comment that author name was missing
because it did not look normal to me.

I did not know not marking the presence of a LICENSE file in
debian/copyright was the preferred solution.

Are we not supposed to mark all copyright notices in debian/copyright?
How is Expat license applying to these code better than my original
copyright section which said these code are under Apache-2.0?

I knew there was a problem, it was not a mistake, it was a conscious
choice. The three choices I had was,

1. Add a comment that author name was missing, which was rejected
2. Try to find a the author name from project website, which was not
also considered a solution.
3. I removed that file altogether as it was not used currently, now that
was also not accepted.
