It would certainly be strange to include the text of the CLA in the
tarballs.

I took a look at some Debian 'copyright' files for ASF projects, which
are somewhat similar to OpenStack legally. I can only conclude that
either the FTP master in question here is misinterpreting the Debian
project's guidelines, or that OpenStack is being held to a stricter
standard than other multiple-copyright-holder projects packaged in
Debian. (There seemed to be a hint in the thread on openstack-dev that
this might be intentionally so, because OpenStack is 'new'?)
