I have packages where that changes frequently.  For example:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/courier/-/blob/master/debian/copyright?
ref_type=heads

I have found the easiest way to maintain the changes is, after running “gbp 
import-orig --uscan”, searching the new upstream commit for the word 
“Copyright”.  This usually shows all files that have new/changed copyright and 
licensing information.
