As to how to record the information, I would expect to find it in the
‘debian/copyright’ file, and I don't see what you're referring to at
<URL:https://sources.debian.net/src/sympathy/1.2.1%2Bwoking%2Bcvs%2Bgit20161222/debian/copyright/>.
So, if you can point to what you mean, I may be able to better respond :-)
