Hi Andreas!

this paragraph from debian/copyright triggers a few false positives:
==========
Files: debian/source/lintian-overrides
Copyright: © 2014 Pedro Pérez Pérez

License: GPL-2.0+
==========
spelling-error-in-copyright Wang Wang (duplicate word) Wang
spelling-error-in-copyright License License (duplicate word) License
The copyright field contains names. Names shouldn't be subject to
spellchecking.
And I happen to know a guy from Spain with a similar "duplicate" family
name.
Field labels shouldn't be checked either, nor should different fields
be concatenated (with their labels inbetween).
(I initially triggered this with
Copyright: no copyright notice, see License
License: public-domain
...
)
The spellcheker isn't currently aware of copyright format (or any format
FWIW), and copyright files aren't required to follow this format anyway.
This is going to be tough to fix if we want to keep checking for
duplicated words.
It was me who proposed the duplicated word check (see #800476), but in
hindsight it might not be such a great idea. :-\ I'd be in favor of
reverting this change, at least until we find a way to make the check
more robust.
