Well, Arch packaging standard says /usr/share/licenses/$pkgname is the
correct license folder. And namcap respects that while verifying his
package. Case it is not desire of the maintainer to use this standard
(without typos and in $pkgname dirname), arch system won't break... but
he will not be following correctly the aforementioned standard.
ps.: Doing a symlink won't vanish namcap's warning because symlink !=
directory. Anyway, it is just a warning.
