Greetings.
I've received this report from the Debian bug system.
Fortunately, it has been easy to diagnose and fix: New perl (5.22)
makes test-update-copyright.sh to give a deprecation warning because
there are unescaped braces in build-aux/update-copyright.
The warning message makes the test to fail, which in turn
makes the Debian package build to fail.
The attached patch seems to fix this.
Thanks.
