Yes, I am from the U. S. A., a citizen of the U. S. A., and was resident in the U. S. A. when I wrote that and dedicated it to the Public Domain. (I'm currently residing in Papua New Guinea, and it could work from here, too.) As I'm the author and the only one with a possibility of a claim of legal standing on claiming copyright on that work (which is actually not even possible, now), and I have no interest in making such a claim (which would essentially make a liar out of me), I think you can rest easy about that.
CC0 is redundant and unnecessary. The repeated, consistent, and clear dedication of that code to the Public Domain is enough. Copyright claims in other jurisdictions would fail, given the nature of the current treaties that recognize the copyright status of a work in its country of origin. However, I have no objection to tagging sapphire.cpp with a link to http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/ if this helps get a project using the code into Debian by removing doubt about its status in other places.
