Normally for a package already in Debian I wouldn't reject due to copyright/
license documentation, but I am making an exception is this case.  I only
started to look at this package by doing grep -ir copyright * over the source.
I made redirected the output of that to a file and made a list of all the
copyright notices that are not currently reflected in debian/copyright.  It
has 806 lines.

It looks clear to me that either the package has been completely reworked by
upstream and the maintainer didn't check or it's been years (looks like five)
since anyone looked at debian/copyright.

Please fix and reupload.  This package needs a comprehensive review of
copyright and licensing and the documentation of the results in debian/
copyright per policy.
