Maybe "unless specified otherwise in contrib/debian/copyright or at the top of the file itself". There are some exceptions, which may be acceptable. This is more meant as a default policy to avoid the flurry of #8784, #8702, #8701, #8700, #8676, from ever having to be done again.

We also host images.

Nit: Can you make this 80 chars wide?

Also append to the last sentence maybe:

..., the original author(s) and source.
