Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/licensecheck
User: devscripts at packages.debian.org
Usertags: licensecheck

when reviewing a LibreOffice extension, which -- when unpacked --
contains a bunch of XML files with several different file name suffixes,
licensing fails to recognize the GPL preamble prefixed with "REM":
$ licensecheck -r -c '\.x..$' .
