What did you do for "digging"?

$ grep -R "Jonas Lundgren"

\code{quadgr}
man/fractalcurve.Rd:  Copyright (c) 2011 Jonas Lundgren for the Matlab toolbox

$ grep -R "Greg von Winckel"
R/barycentric.R:    ydist[ydist == 0] <- eps  # Thanks to Greg von Winckel for 
this trick !

So Chris is obviously right.  You should not rely on the DESCRIPTION file
but have a look into the code.  Just mention those files in debian/copyright
and check for further missing names (may be by grepping for "Copyright").
 
Kind regards

      Andreas.
