Great!  I also see this, but have ignored them via debian/lrc.config.

License texts are exceptional that warrant special consideration.

Generally speaking, license texts are NOT licensed under itself.

Compare the text of GPL-3.0 itself:

 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Often license texts doesn't even carry any licensing information about
itself, which makes the situation unclear at best, and at worst there is
no rights whatsever to the license text.  Presumably a grant to allow
copy and distribute verbatim copies of license texts are implied.
