Policy 22.8 is not ambiguous, which is the release that added the option to not 
include all 
copyright information in debian/copyright (previously all copyright information 
was 
required).  When this change was made, they specifically said:

“Note that there is no change to the requirement to copy *all licensing 
information* into /
usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright.”

I do agree that without this statement in 22.8 it would be ambiguous.
