     .
       * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Warn of Debian version numbers containing "testing", "stable",
           or "unstable", or with release code names for uploads not targeted
           at that release, except in NMUs.  Based on a patch by Raphael
           Geissert.  (Closes: #498876)
       * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Warn (severity: wishlist) of binary control stanzas duplicating
           fields of the source control stanza.  (Closes: #497348)
       * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Warn (severity: wishlist) about the old dh_make packaging
           copyright, which used (C) without the word or symbol.  Based on a
           patch by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #497347)
         + [RA] Clean up checks of a symlinked /usr/share/doc directory and
           avoid making package info global.
         + [RA] Warn about older PHP licenses.  Based on a patch by Raphael
           Geissert.  (Closes: #498875)
       * checks/cruft:
         + [RA] Keep the hash of files for which warnings were already issued
           local to each package, reducing memory consumption and false
           negatives for archive-wide runs.
       * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Check for use of shell brace expansion in debhelper config
           files that list filenames, which is not supported.  Based on a patch
           from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #480939)
         + [RA] If dh is used, require debhelper tokens in maintainer scripts.
         + [ADB] Warn about packages declaring a debhelper compatibility level
           of 7 or above and using dh_clean -k, which has been deprecated in
           favour of dh_prep.
         + [RA] Add dh_auto_* and dh_prep to the debhelper scripts that require
           a particular version of debhelper.
         + [RA] De-duplicate the list of scripts with specific version
           requirements before issuing tags.
         + [RA] Upgrade package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper to
           certain (although still minor), making it a warning.  debhelper(7)
           explicitly recommends a versioned build dependency on debhelper.
           Rewrite the tag description accordingly.
       * checks/fields:
         + [RA] dh-make-php provides a CDBS rule fragment and hence should go
           into Build-Depends, not Build-Depends-Indep.  Thanks, Mathieu
           Parent.  (Closes: #509286)
       * checks/files{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Packages whose executables are all in /usr/games should
           probably be in section games.  (Closes: #509147)
       * checks/menu-format{,.desc}:
         + [RA] If a *.desktop file contains a MimeType key, check that the
           postinst calls update-desktop-database.  (Closes: #488832)
         + [RA] Stop keeping a separate hash of all files in the package and
           use Lintian::Collect information.  The hash was being reused across
           packages, possibly leading to excessive memory consumption and false
           negatives for archive-wide runs.
       * checks/menus:
         + [RA] Keep the hash of files and symlinks local to each package,
           reducing memory consumption and false negatives for archive-wide
           runs.
       * checks/patch-systems.desc:
         + [RA] Improve the patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff long
           description.  (Closes: #496516)
       * checks/rules{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Remove desktop-file-but-no-dh_desktop-call.  The only action of
           dh_desktop is now checked by desktop-mimetype-without-update-call;
           dh_desktop is unnecessary with other *.desktop files.
       * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Overhaul checking of maintainer script and config interpreters:
           - postrm scripts must use an essential interpreter.
           - Only preinst scripts require Pre-Depends; Depends is sufficient for
             postinst and prerm scripts.  (Closes: #508307)
           - Separate unknown-control-interpreter from unusual-interpreter
             since it's much more likely to be an error.
           - Separate control-interpreter-in-usr-local from
             interpreter-in-usr-local since the severity is higher.
           - unusual-control-interpreter is certain, not possible.
           - Suppress some cases of multiple tags about the same basic problem.
         + [RA] Check for scripts in /etc that call init scripts directly
           without using invoke-rc.d.  Based on a patch by Raphael Geissert.
           (Closes: #381485)
         + [RA] Allow dpkg-dev to satisfy a make dependency.  (Closes: #510190)
         + [ADB] More intelligently remove comments from shell scripts, to avoid
           removing some constructs that aren't comments, such as those in
           [ $# -gt 2 ] and "foo # bar".
         + [ADB] Flag the source bashism when its argument is quoted or a bare
           filename.
       * checks/watch-file:
         + [RA] Recognize additional SourceForge URLs and recommend the
           redirector.  Thanks, Riccardo Stagni.  (Closes: #510398)
     .
       * collection/copyright-file:
         + [RA] Copy copyright files that are relative links, provided that the
           link is safe, and otherwise treat symlinked copyright files as if
           they were empty.  Fixes a Lintian crash on packages where the
           copyright file is a relative symlink.
     .
       * debian/copyright:
         + [RA] Add an explicit key to initials used in changelog entries.
       * debian/rules:
         + [RA] New check-tag target which runs all test cases in the new test
           suite that check for or against a particular tag.
     .
       * data/debhelper/filename-config-files:
         + [RA] New file listing debhelper config files containing filenames.
     .
       * frontend/lintian:
         + [RA] When processing the entire archive, do so in sorted order.
     .
       * private/update-never-seen:
         + [RA] Merge data from both test suites and use the tag files for the
           old test suite rather than relying on runtests -v.
     .
       * reporting/html_reports:
         + [RA] We only care about the first line of the archive timestamp.
     .
       * t/runtests:
         + [RA] Check that a test produces all tags listed in Test-For and
           doesn't produce any tages listed in Test-Against.
         + [RA] Support finding and running all tests for or against a
           particular tag.
         + [RA] Correctly set up non-native packages for dpkg-source.
       * t/tests/README:
         + [RA] Add documentation of the new test suite.

     lintian    - Debian package checker
    Closes: 506673 507273 507740 507740 507763 507849
    Changes:
     lintian (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
     .
       * Summary of tag changes:
         + Added
           - debian-watch-file-should-use-sf-redirector
           - debian-watch-file-specifies-wrong-upstream-version
           - debian-watch-file-specifies-old-upstream-version
           - extended-description-is-probably-too-short
           - shlib-without-versioned-soname
     .
       * checks/description{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Check for extended descriptions shorter than three lines; they
           probably don't contain enough information.  Patch from Raphael
           Geissert.
       * checks/files{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Exclude __init__.py files and Doxygen-generated *.map files
           from zero-byte-file-in-doc-directory.  Improve the tag description
           to add a rationale and a suggestion for when overrides are
           appropriate.  Lower the certainty to possible.  (Closes: #507273)
         + [RA] Move the check for override files in the wrong location so that
           the check for subdirectories of /usr/share/lintian/overrides works
           and improve the tag description.
       * checks/nmu:
         + [RA] Recognize Ubuntu native packages by the target distribution and
           suppress NMU tags for them.  Based on a patch by Adrien Cunin.
           (Closes: #507740)
       * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Remove special shlibs exception for NSS modules.  libc6 now
           includes shlibs entries for them.
         + [RA] Report a more specialized tag for shared libraries with SONAMEs
           that have no version and exclude them from the shlibs file tests
           since they cannot be represented there.  Reported by Raphael
           Hertzog.  (Closes: #506673)
         + [RA] Use the same regexes as dpkg-shlibdeps when parsing version
           information from SONAMEs.
       * checks/version-substvars:
         + [RA] Skip version substvar checks when the dependency is on a
           package whose name is formed by expanding substvars at build time.
           Thanks, Bastian Blank.  (Closes: #507763)
       * checks/watch-file{,.desc}:
         + [RA] Merge a set of changes by Raphael Geissert:
           - Correctly parse multiple line continuations.
           - Don't attempt any detailed checks on version one watch files.
           - Recognize versionmangle in addition to [du]versionmangle.
           - Add line information to some of the tags.
           - Detect watch files that specify SourceForge download servers
             directly and suggest use of the QA sf.net redirector instead.
           - Detect watch files specifying an upstream version that matches a
             non-native Debian package version in debian/changelog.
           - Detect watch files specifying an upstream version for an older
             changelog entry when the current changelog entry has a newer
             upstream version.
     .
       * data/changelog-file/ubuntu-dists:
         + [RA] New shared list of Ubuntu distributions.
     .
       * frontend/lintian:
         + [RA] Recognize Ubuntu native packages by the target distribution and
           check them against the correct set of distributions.  Based on a
           patch by Adrien Cunin.  (Closes: #507740)
     .
       * lib/Lab.pm:
         + [ADB] Ensure that the output of unpack/list-*pkg is correctly captured
           so that the reporting harness can use the information to decide which
           packages to process in an incremental run.
       * lib/Lintian/Data.pm:
         + [RA] New all() method that returns all valid keywords.
       * lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
         + [JP] Add a new "source version" field to binary and udeb info files.
           Bump binary and udeb format version to 3 and 2 respectively.
     .
       * reporting/html_reports:
         + [JP] Group packages by source version instead of binary version.
           (Closes: #507849)
       * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
         + [ADB] Print tags affecting udeb packages under a heading for that
           package, rather than merging them in to whichever binary package
           was last displayed (or the source package if the udeb is first
           alphabetically).
         + [ADB] Separate tags affecting a binary package from those of a source
           package with the same name when the binary is the first package produced
           from the source for which there are issues.
         + [JP] Include binary package version in subtitles when it isn't the same
           as the source version.
     .
       * t/runtests:
         + [RA] Parameterize the package section in the skeleton.
     .
       * unpack/list-{bin,udeb}pkg:
         + [JP] Extract source package version from source field.
