Quite possibly not, as the script is imported from gnulib and I expect ot= her=20 users are used to the current behavior and will see glitches if it starts= =20 indenting differently. Better would be to add an option to the script to = enable=20 the behavior you prefer. However, why does lm-verify insist on unequal indentation in the copyrigh= t=20 notice? It seems like a weird constraint. Wouldn't it be better to fix th= at than=20 to modify update-copyright? Not every copyright notice is processed by=20 update-copyright.
