According to my reading of the tag description [1] the issue is not
that Lintian does not recognize the EUPL, but that it confuses that
license with the LGPL, which is mentioned there.

The tag is a request to refer to files installed under
/usr/share/common-licenses instead of quoting the text in d/copyright.
You are seeing a false positive.

Before committing a fix, I would like to run Lintian on your package.
Which one is it, please?

Kind regards
