Bug#930211: lintian: false positive extra-license-file



Source: lintian
Version: 2.15.0

Dear maintainers,

I noticed a false positive for extra-license-file.
You can observe it for example in [xbill_2.1-9_amd64.deb].

> N: Processing binary package xbill (version 2.1-9, arch amd64) ...
> I: xbill: extra-license-file usr/share/xbill/bitmaps/bsd.xbm

The content of the file is the following:

> #define bsd_width 28
> #define bsd_height 24
> static char bsd_bits[] = {
>  0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x18,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x18,0x10,0x00,0x00,0xf0,0x31,
>  0x00,0x00,0xf8,0x37,0x00,0x00,0xf8,0x3f,0x00,0x00,0xf8,0x1f,0x00,0x40,0xf8,

>  0x00,0xf0,0x01,0x00,0x00,0xf8,0x01,0x00,0x00,0xf8,0x01,0x00,0x00,0xf8,0x03,
>  0x00,0x00,0xf0,0x1f,0x00,0x00,0xf8,0xf1,0x00,0x00,0xff,0x01,0x01,0x00,0xf7,
>  0xc1,0x00,0x00,0x60,0x00,0x00};

... which is clearly not a license file. :-)

Kind regards,
  Reiner
