Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.123
Severity: normal
Hello,
Recent versions of lintian have produced inconsistent-appstream-metadata-license
for my package src:elogind. However, I think the test is too restictive.
The package as a whole is LGPL-2.1+. I licensed the AppStream metadata as
CC0-1.0.
Surely having a more permissive license for AppStream metadata is not a problem?
Thanks
Mark
