Bug#766118: lintian: False positive for “missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright”

$ lintian --version
Lintian v2.5.28
$ lintian ../build-area/lojban-common_1.5+dfsg.1-2.dsc
W: lojban-common source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright public-domain (paragraph at line 43)

I'm not at all sure what's actually going on. For some reason, this copyright file is failing to parse properly. I spent some time looking at the code and couldn't figure out where it was failing.

I haven't wrapped my head around the code either, but I noticed that what triggers this false positive is the header paragraph, not "paragraph at line 43".
