The Debian Policy does not say that the source package have to contain 
debian/copyright file. The YADA packaging tool generates 
the /usr/share/doc/<PACKAGE>/copyright file based on informations from 
debian/packages file.

The debian/copyright file could be compiled at build time and saved in source 
package, so I don't close the bugreport, yet, and I'll forward the report to 
the yada package, later.
