You mean you're changing copyright notices in the debian override for a package? If a package's copyright claims are badly worded or simply incorrect, You CANNOT overide this. I find this somewhere inbetween bad taste and illegal. I, however agree with the case at hand, so as the maintainer of the upstream sources, I can change things.

I find this somewhere inbetween bad taste and illegal. this has nothing to do with copyright at all. the problem is that this package claims to be in the standard priority of Debian packages, while the archive is overriding what it says to set it's priority to optional. the difference is that priority standard packages are installed by default, while priority optional and lower packages must be installed by the user. so the package needs to be changed to optional.
