I've had that conversation I think five separate times now and each time seem to have convinced people, which is why debian/copyright is what's recommended in devref and similar sources (see devref 6.7.8.2). I can have the conversation again if you haven't seen the previous rounds, but I'd rather not if you're willing to either take my word for it or research the previous conversations.
