Hi,
I believe we mostly agreed on this on IRC, but as I recall you were
waiting for us to put it in a mail (so you could reference it).
We accept -ignore tags for bugs where the debian/copyright is missing
licenses or copyright notices for files in the source package,
provided that the information is otherwise available in the source
package and there is no doubt about the license of the files whose
license is absent from debian/copyright and our ability to distribute
the files under those licenses.
In the particular case, #737110 appears to be a /bad example/, since
the offending files *are not present* in the version in Wheezy. :) But
otherwise it might have been.
