Hello,

lrc (licenserecon) - this has a lot of false positives, but it also catches a
lot of things I need to look at.  This doesn’t check copyright information,
just licenses.

I'm using that tool now extensively. It says for a specific file:

FSFULLR and/or GPL and/or LGPL build-aux/m4/nls.m4

It likes the entry

License: FSFULLR and/or GPL and/or LGPL

in d/copyright, but lintian does not like it:

W: texinfo source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright fsfullr and/or gpl and/or lgpl [debian/copyright:99]

A simple "and" or "or" conjunction as described on [1] is not accepted by lrc, although I would guess that an "or" conjunction would be correct. I will check if other packages have that file too and how they solved the situation.
