The copyright file claims that these files "come from"
http://www.reptilelabour.com/software/chromium/ and are available under the
terms of the Artistic License.  If you determine that *specific* files are
covered by a different copyright than the one claimed in debian/copyright,
or under a license other than the Artistic License, please re-raise the
severity.  Otherwise, simple second-guessing of the statements in the
copyright file doesn't seem to be a reason for a release-critical bug.
