You gave two reasons:
* [...] it serves as documentation that the package has been thoroughly
checked for licensing issues.
* It also provides a nice summary for our users.
Could you explain to me how the lack of those two things is a possible
DFSG problem? I assume that this is based on the first, but that seems
like quite a stretch to me. The same assurance, for what good there is in
it, could be drived from a statement in debian/copyright saying "I checked
every file in this package for DFSG licensing problems."
Also, no, I definitely do not think that a possible DFSG problem is an RC
bug. I think that an *actual* DFSG problem is an RC bug. A possible DFSG
problem is only a possible RC bug. Surely this is obvious?
