I suspect we're in agreement. But for completeness. If a copyright grant simply grants the terms of a referenced license, I don't think we need to include it verbatim. However, if the grant includes licensing itself--for example additional permissions or even more interestingly restrictions), it's easy for the grant to become more of a license and to be a license that needs to binclude in its own right. (I'm aware that many circumstances where a license grant includes a restriction would be problematic especially say when combined with the GPL-3. I can think of licenses/situations when such a result would still be DFSG free though, and in such situations it seems like it would be important to clearly document in debian/copyright). I don't think anything I write above is a disagreement with the common case you're covering. I suspect you already would be, but my advice to others is to be careful of license grants that include unsual text and to err on the side of including them in debian/copyright.
