Just tried symlinking /usr/share/games/wesnoth/1.11/data/COPYING.txt to /usr/share/doc/wesnoth-1.11/copyright, but wesnoth then complains with the following: 20130111 21:51:39 error config: Nested quoted string at COPYING.txt:76 included from core/help.cfg:351 included from core/_main.cfg:12 included from _main.cfg:7 20130111 21:51:39 error config: Error loading game configuration files 20130111 21:51:39 error general: Error loading game configuration files: 'Nested quoted string at COPYING.txt:76 included from core/help.cfg:351 included from core/_main.cfg:12 included from _main.cfg:7' (The game will now exit) So yes, a lintian override for extra-license-file seems to be the most appropriate action to take.
