I believe that to be a false positive: File format 1.0 requires a
License paragraph to have a License field (which is always satisfied),
but does not mandate said License field to be multi-line.
Please do not trigger for License paragraphs with single-line License
field but containing other fields as well.
See https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/05/msg00473.html for
related discussion on distinguishing between license and license-grant.
