Hello, I don't think this problem has been resolved.
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/b/bonnie++/bonnie++_1.03b.1/bonnie++.copyright

That still says: "Copyright: GPL 2.0" instead of eg. "Copyright 2008
Justin Pryzby".  The GPL is not a copyright holder, but a license.
Ideally the copyright holder would be listed in a separate section (in
addition to "Upstream Author:" since they can be distinct parties),
the license would be listed under a section called "License:", and the
gpl boilerplate would be included (followed by the pathname to the
complete GPL).
