In private/generate-profiles.pl, extract auto-reject tags from data posted by FTP Master.
The script downloads the most recent data for FTP Master auto rejects from their URL at: https://ftp-master.debian.org/static/lintian.tags The resulting profile is not used by the FTP Master team, but is made available to users via the command line option -F. For details, please see Bug#943536. The script previously used local copies of similar data but it was outdated and was in an unfamiliar format. The old, static copies of that data will be removed from the Git repo in the near future. The module LWP::Simple, which is used to download, was not added as a prerequisite to d/control. The script is intended to be run manually by the development team, and is not shipped to users. The data file from FTP Master is in YAML format, and should be parsed as such. The current approach via regular expressions is not ideal.
