   [ Chris Lamb ]
   * Check for debian/upstream/metadata files without bug tracking
     information and upstream repository locations.
     (Closes: #950115, #950117)
   * Check for new packages that use a date-based versioning scheme
     (eg. YYYYMMDD-1) without a 0~ suffix. (Closes: #953036)
   * Don't report about using a newer Standards-Version when uploading to
     backports.
   * Clarify the error message when tags are not covered in the testsuite.
 .
   [ Felix Lechner ]
   * Also analyse Ubuntu's automatic debug packages which have the
     non-standard suffix .ddeb. (Closes: #951513, #953857)
   * Parse newline escapes correctly in md5sum files. (Closes: #929729)
   * Remove tag pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library; outside of
     Lintian's purview. (Closes: #953099)
   * Rewrite check for compressed gzip archives; print modification time of
     first member. (Re: #762105)
   * Add a new tag called bash-completion-with-hashbang.
   * Add tag and check for absolute symbolic link targets in source trees.
   * Reduce severity and mark PE32+ related tag experimental; set security
     features for test binary explicitly.
   * Offer to calibrate test results for literal matching strategy.
   * Strip leading slashes from absolute paths for file names and hard link
     targets.
   * Issue a tag when the Excluded-Files field is present in copyright
     within native packages.
   * Display Lintian's command-line options in the process table (eg.
     top(1), etc.)
 .
   [ Paul Wise ]
   * Add several spelling corrections.
 .
   [ Xavier Guimard ]
   * Extend NodeJS checks to modules that use naming such as "@foo/bar".
