In scancode-toolkit, at src/packagedcode/debian_copyright.py there's the DebianCopyrightParagraphs clas which basically extends DebianCopyright at debian_inspector/copyright.py to also handle seperating the different types of paragraph in functional groups to be then used for parsing and copyright/license detection.

This should be moved to debian_inspector/copyright.py as it only extends functionality of the DebianCopyright class.
