.

to Ian Jackson for the report. (Closes: #721205)

needed.
+ [NT] Remove references to the legacy testsuite.
* doc/tutorial/Lintian/Tutorial/TestSuite.pod:

+ [NT] New file.

+ [NT] Automatically determine the LINTIAN_ROOT when run from
the extracted source dir.

obsolete as Lintian can now automatically determine the
proper LINTIAN_ROOT. To avoid surprises, lintian will
now exit with an error if requested to use a different
LINTIAN_ROOT than the one lintian expected to use.
+ [NT] Emit a deprecation warning for --include-dir
and --[no-]user-dirs when they are not the first
arguments and called as lintian-info.

+ [NT] Copy (rather than symlink) the lintian.log to the
generated website.
.
* t/runtests:
+ [NT] Assume dpkg (>= 1.16.1) is present.
+ [NT] Work around bug in Perl (#723805) when using "glob"
within threads. Thanks to Brian "hugmeir" Fraser for
finding the underlying cause.
* t/tests/legacy-debug/debian/debian/control:
+ [NT] Mark some packages "arch:any" to avoid test failures
on kfreebsd-amd64. (Closes: #688524)
.
