No, the most common correct course of action is to fix the package (by
adding the standard license blurb and/or fixing the copyright line(s)).

Sometimes (as in this recent case) the right thing is to change the
$(CR_EXCEPTIONS) because the "problems" caught are not actual problems,
but that's much less common.
