Bug Description
Processing rabbitmq-
$ lintian --show-overrides *.changes
O: rabbitmq-
$
This is not an appropriate override. The warning is absolutely correct; this is a bug that should be fixed in the package.
debian/copyright is expected to contain a full and complete copy of all license information needed for a given binary package, with the exception of those licenses shipped in /usr/share/
BTW, I'm pretty sure this is incorrect:
The Debian packaging is:
Copyright (C) 2011 Brian Thomason <email address hidden>
It's almost certainly Copyright (C) 2011 Canonical Ltd. :)

This patch adds the complete MPL 1.1 text to debian/copyright, provides proper attribution to Canonical for the copyright on the packaging itself, and removes the patch that added the mpl copyright file in the first place.
