Quite possibly not, as the script is imported from gnulib and I expect other 
users are used to the current behavior and will see glitches if it starts 
indenting differently. Better would be to add an option to the script to enable 
the behavior you prefer.

However, why does lm-verify insist on unequal indentation in the copyright 
notice? It seems like a weird constraint. Wouldn't it be better to fix that than 
to modify update-copyright? Not every copyright notice is processed by 
update-copyright.
