Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.49
Severity: normal

wildcard-matches-nothing-in-dep5-copyright is raised for files deleted by patch 

This is a false positive. Copyright exist even if files are deleted. Copyright 
is against origin + debian files

nthykier do you have how to avoid this kind of problem ?
