Hello Daniel

I've used moarvm package as a test case for 'cme update dpkg-copyright'. 

Turns out that some copyright entries from 3rdparty directories were missing.
There were also some minor mistakes in the copyright owners. There's a better 
chance of having moarvm go through ftp-masters without missing entries in 
copyright file...

I've also added a 'fix.scanned.copyright' file in debian to work around some 
limitations (or bugs) of licensecheck command.

Last but not least: your previous work on debian/copyright is not wasted: 
some files cannot be scanned and 'cme update' did reuse the data you've created. 
The fix.scanned.copyright file [1] is needed for files where licensecheck returns 
bogus data.

I've pushed the new debian copyright file [2] to copyright-cme-update branch on 
pkg-moarvm repo. Feel free to pick up what you want from this file or simply 
merge it on master. 

I also found (manually, cme is not that magic ;-p ) that the license you 
flagged as "Other" is a MIT variant. This update is pushed on master. [3]

Once the copyright is done, I don't see any other issue to upload moarvm.

All the best
