Bug#458831: lintian: extra-license-file detects non-license files
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: normal
kdelibs-data contains a bunch of docbook snippets used to point to
licenses for different licenses and languages.
Such one:
cat
/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/en-GB/entities/underArtisticLicense.docbook
<para>This program is licensed under the terms of the <ulink
url="common/artistic-license.html">Artistic License</ulink>.</para>
Currently overridden in kdelibs-data, but I guess it is some kind of
bug in lintian.
$ grep extra-license-file debian/kdelibs-data.lintian | wc --lines
