N:   There is "Upstream Author(s)" in your copyright file. This was most
N:   likely a remnant from the dh_make template.
N:
N:   There's either one upstream author, in which case you should remove
N:   the "(s)", or there are several upstream authors, in which case you
N:   should remove the "(" and ")".

Upstream Author(s): goofy
is incorrect
Upstream Author: goofy
is correct

Upstream Author(s): goofy and mikey
is incorrect
Upstream Authors: goofy and mikey
is correct
