Hello,

I actually tried to do something else, got an error (the same
one) and then feel back to the example provided to find whether there
was some fundamental breakage.

I do not think the diagnosis is correct though, I have no »"« in the
Copyright lines, so the pattern simply is a noop and should not throw an
error, shouldn't it?
ametzler at argenau:~$ grep ^Copy GIT/writing/guile-gnutls/debian/copyright | grep \"
ametzler at argenau:~$

Anyway what I really tried to do was working around #1021757 and transform

to
