As such, IMHO, there is zero point in updating d/copyright at every release just to match changes in license for such auto-generated files, let alone to report any discrepancy as an error. They should therefore be ignored by licensereconf and licensecheck.
No. They should not be ignored. See the Debian Policy manual sections on d/copyright Also, see the discussion on (duplicate) bug https://bugs.debian.org/1099786 Peter
