I think it would be good, assuming that the tests are good (not too many
false positives in particular), to include it in lintian and enable it
by default.  However, it should be completely silent if it encounters a
copyright file which is not in the format.

It would be nice to have checks for people who use the format, but
people who don't shouldn't be bothered with it.  Since people want
lintian to be completely silent when things are good, even an I: tag
should be considered too loud.

Thanks,
Bas
