Bug#476149: lintian: Examples containing license files
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: normal
DejaGNU has this Lintian warning:
W: dejagnu: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/dejagnu/examples/calc/COPYING.gz
The example is a complete autoconf/automake source package.
Accordingly it needs to contain a COPYING file. I can override
this for dejagnu, but it seems like an odd warning; maybe it shouldn't
apply to examples/ ?
