Beware that I say we must _check_ every file - not that we must _list_ 
every file in debian/copyright.

All that Debian distributes must be legal to distribute.

You may argue that you need not check e.g. if PNG files in your package 
contain embedded non-free ICC profiles, but that just means that you 
rely on ftpmasters to check it on your behalf.

You may argue that your upstream has already checked that for you.  I'd 
call that a sloppy check, and there is a real risk that again you then 
burden ftpmasters with digging out dirt because upstream has a different 
view than Debian what is legally acceptable.
