There are several other Debathena-native packages where the Debian
packaging is written as copyright Tim Abbott and Anders Kaseorg:
 broder: cupsys-config, printing-config, cupsys-hack
 MIT: dotfiles, firefox-wrapper, build-depends
 andersk: libnss-afspag
 tabbott, broder, nelhage, andersk, geofft: linerva
 tabbott, andersk, geofft: gdm-config
 tabbott, andersk, price: pam-config

Are these right?  I think it may make the most sense to drop the
"source is copyright X, packaging copyright Y" distinction for many of
these packages, especially for config packages that consist basically
just of Debian packaging.

The same thing applies to a large number of config packages where both
copyrights are attributed to Tim and Anders, or both to MIT.

I only examined the debathena/ tree because I don't have a checkout
handy of everything, but if someone with a checkout wants to look, try:
  md5sum $(find . -name copyright) | sort
and to look at each unique file:
  less $(md5sum $(find . -name copyright) | sort \
    | perl -lane 'if ($F[0] ne $val) { $val = $F[0]; print $F[1]; }')
