Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.50.3
Severity: normal
Lintian finds an error in our dvipdfmx.tex in tags it as
texlive-base source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants
texmf-dist/doc/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.tex invariant part is: label{sec:fdl
but the document clearly states:

pdflicenseurl={http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html}
The check that made lintian jump at it comes from the following section title:
\section*{GNU Free Documentation License}\label{SEC:FDL}
which is somehow strange.
Furthermore, maybe this is a separate bug, I cannot override this
$ cat debian/source/lintian-overrides
texlive-base source: license-problem-gfdl-invariants
texmf-dist/doc/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.tex
$
but lintian still reports the error, which seems incorrect.
All the best
