I see no good reason to make lintian aware of this particular
exception. It might however make sense to make lintian ignore
any file named license* if that file is a binary file.
The Distribution/License.hi file I'm looking at contains
(as a hex dump):
00000000: 00 01 FA CE 00 00 00 00 00 00 55 34 04 00 00 00
00000010: 36 00 00 00 31 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 33 01 00 00
00000020: 00 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 45 41 00 00 00 00 00 00
00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 35 7A 17 87 18
00000040: CB DC 23 77 22 D5 9A 45 C0 A0 CD 03 82 C2 9F B8
There is no way that could be mistaken for a human readable
license file :-).
However, I have no problem with lintian staying as it is and me
providing a lintian-overrides files especially since the use of
the wildcard makes it so easy.

Ooops, yes. It was a Brandon S. with your surname. Sorry about that :-).
Cheers,
