In the case of ‘git-annex’, it just needs a ‘license-file-regexp’
argument, which is easy enough to fix.  For ‘scroll’, it’s missing a
license file.  There is “GPL.hs”, but it doesn’t really count, IMO.  It
contains the text of the GPL (version 2), but as a Haskell string.  I
guess it’s better than nothing.

I think there is no bug here, just bad luck.  :)
