         + [AB] Don't emit application-in-library-section for packages starting
           with "cpan", not only "cpanplus" and "cpanminus".
       * checks/binaries.{desc,pm}:
         + [NT] Rewrite description for hardening-no-bindnow.  There
           is no references to why bindnow would cause issues.
         + [AB] Relax regexp for missing-dependency-on-perlapi to allow letters
           inside the API name. Thanks Niko Tyni! (Closes: #823437)

       * checks/fields.{desc,pm}:
         + [JW] Fix typos.

           libraries.  Thanks to Matthias Klose for the bug report.

       * commands/reporting-lintian-harness.pm:
         + [NT] Re-enable pedantic tags by default.  These were
           disabled in the previous release by mistake.

           processed.  This avoids accumulating files on the disk for archive-
           wide runs done in temporary labs.  This mitigates some of the
           excessive disk usage for archive-wide runs  (See #779228).

           report.

         + Removed:
           - dh_desktop-is-deprecated

     .
       * checks/{control-file,fields}.{desc,pm}:
         + [JW] Remove confusing checks for build-conflicts related to build
           profiles.
       * checks/debhelper.{desc,pm}:
         + [NT] Remove check for dh_undocumented and dh_desktop as debhelper
           has dropped the helper.
       * checks/systemd.pm:
         + [JW] Apply patch from Felipe Sateler to properly remove .sh suffix
           when checking systemd-initscript matching.  (Closes: #819087)
       * checks/version-substvars.{desc,pm}:
         + [NT] Add an experimental tag to check for arch:all
           binNMUability.  This is currently not supported at all
           and there is no known fix for the tag.  That said, it
           is still useful for determining how many packages might
           be affected by it in case Debian will support arch:all
           binNMUs.
     .
       * commands/reporting-sync-state.pm:
         + [NT] Use the sha256 instead of the sha1 checksum field
           for finding related files and checking which members
           have changed.
         + [NT] Support reading Packages.xz and Sources.xz files.
     .
       * data/spelling/corrections:
         + [JW] Add more corrections.
           Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for suggesting one of them.
     .
       * frontend/dplint:
         + [NT] Put $LINTIAN_VERSION on its own line so the build
           time substitution works again.  Thanks to Stuart
           Prescott for reporting the issue.
     .
       * helpers/coll/objdump-info-helper:
         + [JW] Apply patch from Dan Nicholson to keep TEXTREL entries from the
           dynamic section.  (Closes: #819506)
     .
       * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
         + [JW,ADB] Don't ignore midword punctuation characters when
           spell-checking.  (Closes: #818003)  Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for
           the bug report.
     .
       * t/tests/binaries-missing-depends-on-libc/debian/debian/rules:
         + [JW] Apply patch from Dan Nicholson to pass --no-as-needed to the
           linker.  (Closes: #819551)
