Version: 2.5.80
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I have obtained the following message from lintian:

I: pinball-data: extra-license-file
usr/share/games/pinball/gnu/gplv1.ogg 
I: pinball-data: extra-license-file
usr/share/games/pinball/gnu/gplv2.ogg
I:pinball-data: extra-license-file usr/share/games/pinball/gnu/gplv3.ogg

* .ogg files are sound files, not licenses. Maybe Lintian could check
  the contents of the files (as well as warn of typographical errors).


Regards!


I. De Marchi
