Bug#880557: check for duplicates when copyright holder has extra information

[Pirate Praveen]

package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
version: 2.102
severity: wishlist

Tools like npm2deb parse package.json file and add name and email
address/website to copyright file. When cme update copyright command is
run, it adds extra section if it finds lesser information in LICENSE file.

For example,

if a copyright file has,

Files: *
Copyright: 2017 Author <email> (website)
License: Expat
has
and LICENSE file only has 2017 Author,

it should not add an extra section to copyright file.
