Package: lintian Version: 2.5.31 Severity: minor Hi,
"public-domain" has a special meaning in DEP5, [1] states: "When the License field in a paragraph has the short name public-domain, the remaining lines of the field must explain exactly what exemption the corresponding files for that paragraph have from default copyright restrictions." This, I think, it is toally legal to have multiple stanzas in d/copyright, all saying "License: public-domain" and then stating why the work is PD. However, lintian will currently tag such a d/copyright with dep5-copyright-license-name-not-unique as "public-domain" is used multiple times with different long-texts. We should special-case public-domain here probably.
