Ahh, I see it now.

not sure why, but I kept comparing against libmodule-install-perl where 
I saw no file editing, but I see now clearly that files have been 
chopped apart - marked with "#line NN" hints.


I will get in touch with upstream and try make them correct that bad 
manner - and failing that see if it is possible to rip out those parts.

And for now I shall add all potential copyright holders of the inc/ 
files.


Thanks!
