Bug#1028317: lintian: please exclude /usr/lib/pd/extra/ from 'extra-license-file'

[IOhannes m zmölnig (Debian/GNU) <umlaeute@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I'm maintaining a high 2-digit number of addon packages for the puredata
ecosystem.  The de-facto standard for such addon packages is to bundle all
documentation and a license file into a single directory, and install
that into /usr/lib/pd/extra/.

In order to not break upstream expectations (and upstream tools that scan for
these files in the usual places), I find myself adding dozens of
overrides for 'extra-license-file'.

Therefore I kindly request that lintian does not emit an
"extra-license-file" warning if this license file is found in a
subdirectory of /usr/lib/pd/extra/.

Thanks for your consideration.
