I think codesearch.debian.net would be your friend here. Could you come
back with some numbers? I mean, if this is just a couple o' packages,
it may not be worth introducing a Lintian test, or at least it would
affect this bug's prioritisation. :)

license text in copyright files removed, but that isn't looking too likely (see
#795402)

Thanks for the reference; very useful! (A case for BTS `affects`..?)
