Bug#387269: lintian: [checks/files] extra-license-file: Exception for Ruby script
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.24
Severity: minor
There are cases where Ruby scripts generate some license text,
and the file name contains "license". I encountered this
particular case when I package qwikWeb (written in Ruby).
Here is a patch.
