Martin Pitt 0d15c9f1cb build-debian-copyright: Don't top-level merge packages with differing licenses
This resulted in "License: ISC and MIT" for argparse, which is
confusing. Most packages in it are MIT, while
test/resolver/nested_symlinks/mylib/* is ISC.

Refine this by considering each directory with a package.json as a
separate ting initially, and then merging paths to into their parent
paragraph if they have the same license.
