I agree with you. As for myself, I list all licenses, but I would add only the main copyright holder(s), and, from now on, add a sentence along those lines: "This is the copyright of the main project maintainers. For other copyright, please check the corresponding source files." Also, to make things more sensitive, I would link the issue to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. My belief is that we *all* agree on those guidelines, and that the subsequent requirements in the policy about debian/copyright are here just to put these general ideas into words and directives. In this context, the minor copyright notices have nothing to do with the DFSG, but the licenses do.
