Package: licenserecon
Version: 12.0
Severity: minor

I run lrc -s on a package with good licensing hygiene, but I get this
kind of output when it is dual-licensed and includes a copy of each
license.

===========================================================
en: Versions: licenserecon '12.0'  licensecheck '3.3.9-1'

Parsing Source Tree  ....
Reading d/copyright  ....
Running licensecheck ....

d/copyright      | licensecheck

MIT or Apache-2.0| Apache-2.0        LICENSE-APACHE
MIT or Apache-2.0| Expat             LICENSE-MIT

Short option in use. Not all differences shown
===========================================================

This is very common to have dual-licensed source, and to include two
LICENSE files in the root folder (or sometimes LICENSE + COPYING) and
licenserecon has read the debian/copyright and decided that these files
conflict with it.

When these files are present individually it absolutely does need
deeper review, but when they're together in this way it is almost
exactly saying that debian/copyright is correct.

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan.
