Does anyone have knowledge on how situations like this have been handled in the past?

I know in the past at least some packagers have submitted requests to
upstream to include the additional license texts but I don't know if
that was a general policy.


This IMHO is the right answer and there is also this guideline part of review guidelines [1]:


~~~

SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it.

~~~


IOW I believe that license tag should be always the source of truth and the rest needs to be clarified with upstream, but it is not blocker.
