I believe that to be a false positive: File format 1.0 requires a
License paragraph to have a License field (which is always satisfied),
but does not mandate said License field to be multi-line.
The specification says: “If there are no remaining lines [in the License
field], then all of the short names or short names followed by license
exceptions making up the first line must be described in stand-alone
License paragraphs.”
I don't believe this requirement is satisfied in your copyright file.
Also, it says: “This field should include all text needed in order to
fulfill both Debian Policy's requirement for including a copy of the
software's distribution license (12.5)”, so I don't think you can move
the relevant information to the License-Grant or License-Reference
fields.
