Copyright is with the original author.  You can't just take someone
else's work, plaster a license on it and call it yours and expect the
law (or anyone really!) to recognize it :)  Proving copyright is simple
enough; just show when/where the original was published and by whom.

In the case of this package, the DEB packaging itself is separate (and
separately licensed) from the code it contains.  The problem here is not
plagiarism, but an unspecified license for the bulk of the code inside
the DEB.
