A name, a title, (possibly) a copyright notice and (possibly) a license URL? Why is that lavish and laborious?

Debian legal calls this an "unreasonable restriction on 
distribution and making modified versions."

I wrote that summary, and no, we don't say that. You should probably actually read it:

There are some unclear parts of the Attribution license element that need to be made more succinct, but attribution itself is not considered an unreasonable restriction on distribution or making modified versions.
