That doesn't match my recollection of the discussions.

I believe the provenance of the upstream source needs to be described in
debian/copyright regardless of whether or not copyright issues are
involved.  Documenting the location of the upstream source is called out
in Policy as a separate purpose for debian/copyright independent of
copyright and licensing terms.
