Bug#672284: lintian: False positive: no-debian-copyright when packages supply debian/$pkgname.copyright
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: normal
Hi,
lintian reports a no-debian-copyright warning for packages that supply
a copyright file in debian/$pkgname.copyright
That seems to be a valid way to provide copyright files, at least
according to dh_installdocs(1).
Such a false positive is reported, for example, against eterm:
