Hello Osamu and Andreas.

The upstream package has evolved enough that trying to recycle an old
DEP5 copyright from a long time ago happened to be not practical. The
amount of mismatched copyright years and no longer existing files was
quite high.

I eventually ended up writing a new file from scratch, but still
keeping an eye on your work (which of course I still thank you) to be
sure that I did not miss anything important.

It has been a tedious task. This is why the bug was stuck for so long.
I apologize for this. Writing copyright files has a lot of nuances,
and it requires concentration to do it right.

Thanks.
