Hi Denis!

The copyright file in question looks like this:

| Files: ico/oxygen-icons/* ...
| Copyright: 2009, Nuno Pinheiro
| License: LGPL-2.1
|         This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
|         ...

I believe that Lintian correctly complains about multiple different 
definitions of the LGPL-2.1 license. What you should do it to put 
LGPL-2.1 into a separate stand-alone license paragraph:

| Files: ico/oxygen-icons/* ...
| Copyright: 2009, Nuno Pinheiro
| License: LGPL-2.1
|
| Files: ico/16x16/circle.png ...
| Copyright: 2009, Everaldo Coelho
| License: LGPL-2.1
|
| License: LGPL-2.1
|  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
|  ...

Alternatively, you could merge the two Files paragraphs:

| Files: ico/oxygen-icons/* ...
| Copyright:
|  2009, Nuno Pinheiro
|  2009, Everaldo Coelho
| License: LGPL-2.1
|  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
|  ...
