Bug#701660: lintian: Possible wrong syntax-error-in-dep5-copyright test in Lintian (Duplicate field copyright)

["Nelson A. de Oliveira" <naoliv@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.11
Severity: minor

Correct me if I am wrong or if I lack some coffee, please, but with this
copyright file:

=====
Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
Upstream-Name: name

I am seeing this:

W: test source: syntax-error-in-dep5-copyright line 7: Duplicate field copyright.

In
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#copyright-field
we can see an example with two "Copyright" lines.

It seems that lintian should not warn for duplicates copyright fields?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
