Hi Bastien:

"Stand-alone License paragraphs can be used to provide the full license text
for a given license once, instead of repeating it in each Files paragraph that
refers to it."

https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#stand-alone-license-paragraph

Since it is "can" and not "must", Lintian is too severe.

Have a nice week-end,

Charles
