I don't really mind the above way, as long as there's an easy way for me
to write my debian/copyright file, which isn't the case ATM. Currently,
it's close to second-guessing, which is what needs to be fixed. A
copyright-holder.txt file would fix it, and I'm guessing that it's
existence only would push companies to add themselves in...
