Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.48
Severity: normal
User: devscri...@packages.debian.org
Usertags: licensecheck

licensecheck currently applies $opt_check_regex to all command line
arguments if there are more than one.  This is very counter-intuitive:

  $ touch foo
  $ licensecheck *
  foo: *No copyright* UNKNOWN
  $ touch bar
  licensecheck *
  $

I'd argue that $opt_check_regex should never be applied to the command
line; I'm not aware of any tools that silently ignore such arguments.
(The point could also be made against $opt_ignore_regex.)
