Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.8
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

A copyright file with this snippet:
###
 Files: *
 Copyright: Lor Em
 License: custom and Foo
  This is some custom license terms.
  .
  Mentions that Foo license also applies.

 License: Foo
  This is the standard Foo license.
###
...causes lintian to report "unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright" (provided no one else references the Foo license).

I think that this should be a valid layout, though I'm unsure if there's any definite answer in the spec.
