Well, currently Lintian throws the same error for openldap's schemas, and I haven't quite reached a decision on what to do about it.
Of course Lintian just sees the RFC license in the file, and not the clarification that the material it covers was removed. So from that perspective I could agree with overriding the error and carrying on. I've also heard the opinion that since the copyrighted text was removed, then the copyright notice itself should also be removed, then there would be nothing for Lintian to complain about.
Personally, I agree with the rationale [1] for preserving the license statement, and would probably override the Lintian error based on that. However this has yet to pass the ftp-master oracle. :)
