Yes. Currently the debian/copyright for ecasound lists all the different
contributors to the software, but having a look at the licensecheck output
some (one in particular) contributors are listed with different copyright
years ranges (for different files of course), e.g.:

   Copyright: 2002-2010 Kai Vehmanen
   Copyright: 1999-2004,2007 Kai Vehmanen
   Copyright: 1997-2010 Kai Vehmanen

and many others. The question is, do we need to list all this copyright
statements, or we can just use a single catch-all copyright years range for 
this contributor?

Hope this makes sense to you :)

Cheers
