Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0
Severity: normal

Dear Lintian maintainers,

in my package embassy-phylip, there is a comment saying that the
package is not GPL despite a copy of the GPL is distributed with the
sources. This triggers the 
copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl error.

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/non-free/e/embassy-phylip/current/copyright

When Lintian starts to take advantage of DEP-5, perhaps you can
consider to exclude Comments fields from the 
copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl check.

Have a nice day,
