Package: lintian Version: 2.5.21 Severity: minor I am not convinced that making this tag be a warning is appropriate. The referenced section of policy[1] does not say anything about not shipping other license files, and in some cases removing licenses from binary packages could actually be license violations in themselves (at least I can foresee a license text which requires it being put in a certain location). Even if that's not the case, is it really worth the effort to remove files which upstream has asked to be installed with the package?
I can see how the tag would be useful as a heads up that there are license files to review, but this would make it 'info' level, surely? Overriding on this basis also seems wrong. Thanks, Dominic.
