When copyright info is found both in the file and in dep5, the output reuse lint suggests the option ---suppress deprecation. Since the message results from using lint command, one may assume that it's a lint option and that the command line should be
$ reuse lint --suppress-deprecation
which does not work.
It took me quite some time until I figured out that it's a reuse option, and the correct command line should be
$ reuse --suppress-deprecation lint
Perhaps it should be obvious but other users may get confused like me.
It might be useful to give more detailed guidance in the output message.
