Bug#762261: new tag unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright is rather confusing



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.27
Severity: minor

The new tag unused-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright is rather confusing: it is
triggered also by a wrong order of paragraph.

I suggest one of the following:

1) split the check in something like inexistent-file-in-dep5-copyright and
   overridden-file-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright
2) extend the description to tell about the importance of the paragraph order

Thanks for developing lintian, and help us keep our package in order :)
