After some more side-channel discussions with Gauthier, on d/copyright:

* to simplify d/copyright management and readability, the package puts some 
files that are under a single license under the "Apache-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause" 
stanza, which is more restrictive than needed.
* utility in listing individual files in d/copyright is marginal, and requires 
significant effort.
* Upstream CONTRIBUTING.md makes clear that the project overall is licensed 
under "Apache-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause"

The proposed approach looks good to me. I just have two suggestions,
which are non-blocking for an upload:

* Add a Comment to d/copyright stanza, when useful to to clarify things,
e.g.

Files: *
Copyright: Cloud Hypervisor Authors
License: Apache-2.0 AND BSD-3-Clause
Comment:
 we did this and that
 because of that and this`

* Add a debian/lrc.config file to make lrc(1) clean or mostly clean. I
am not suggesting this for the sake of making a linter happy, but to
track decisions via comments and commit messages.

Again, these are non-blocking suggestions.
