Sphinx does similar things.

I'm a counterexample, or maybe I'm just the exception that confirms the
rule. I have text like this in some of my spec files:

%package doc
Summary:        Documentation for the XML/Ada library
BuildArch:      noarch
License:        AdaCore-doc AND MIT AND BSD-2-Clause
# License for the documentation is AdaCore-doc. The Javascript and CSS files
# that Sphinx includes with the documentation are BSD 2-Clause and MIT-licensed.

I wish Sphinx would put those files in a subpackage that documentation
packages could depend on, instead of multiplying them all over the
distribution. Then I wouldn't have to analyze their licenses for my
License tags, and would have more time for useful work. The dependency
should preferably be added automatically.
