* checks/*.desc:
+ [CL] Standardise on capital-L "Lintian" in package descriptions.
Thanks to Adam D. Barratt for the suggestion.
* checks/cruft.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Check for packages that invoke AC_PATH_PROG without considering
cross-compilation. Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the idea and
proof-of-concept implementation. (Closes: #884798)
* checks/fields.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Emit a wishlist warning for packages that mix-and-match more
than one version control system in Vcs-* headers. (Closes: #884503)
+ [CL] Warn when packages specify a "Bugs" field in debian/control that
does not refer to official Debian infrastructure as this can make
reportbug unable to report bugs. (Closes: #741071)
* checks/files.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Warn maintainers about packages that ship pkg-config files under
/usr/lib/pkgconfig as they are unavailable under cross-compilation.
Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the idea. (Closes: #885096)
+ [CL] Warn about packages that ship non-reproducible Python .doctree
files. (Closes: #885327)
+ [CL] Factor out simple filename checks into a Lintian::Data variable.
* checks/init.d.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Don't emit init.d-script-needs-depends-on-lsb-base if the
package ships a Systemd service file. (Closes: #864999)
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [CL] Also note that unused-override can be triggered if Lintian
adds/modifies supplementary tag metadata.
* checks/obsolete-sites.pm:
+ [CL] Ignore commented-out lines to avoid false-positives where the
maintainer references the old location. (Closes: #806237)
* checks/pe.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Check for Microsoft Windows Portable Executable (PE) files that
are missing security hardening features. Thanks to Petter
Reinholdtsen for the report. (Closes: #837548)
* checks/python.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Warn about Python 2.x packages using ${python3:Depends} and
Python 3.x packages using ${python:Depends}. Thanks to Mattia
Rizzolo for the idea. (Closes: #884676)
+ [CL] Factor out definition of dependency fields.
+ [CL] Warn about Python 3 packages that depend on Python 2 packages
and vice versa. (Closes: #782277)

+ [CL] Check for override_dh_clean targets that are missing calls to
dh_clean. Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the idea. (Closes: #884817)

+ [CL] Avoid misleading tag descriptions when emitting valid
timewarp-standards-version warnings if the date parts are identical

eof@kiyuko.org> for the report. (Closes: #884785)
* checks/source-copyright.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Check for Apache 2.0 packages that do not distribute their
accompanying "NOTICE" files. (Closes: #885042)
+ [CL] Use the list of files in the orig tarball (rather than in the
regular index) to prevent false positives when checking for the
source-includes-file-in-files-excluded tag when a patch system
re-adds files that were removed. (Closes: #884848)
.
* collection/src-orig-index:
+ [CL] Correct references to generated filename.

pedantic warning when using lower level. (Closes: #884699)
* data/debhelper/dh_commands:
+ [CL] dh_scour is now provided by python3-scour, not python-scour.
Thanks to Jeremy Bicha. (Closes: #885106)

+ [CL] Detect embedded jQuery libraries with version number in their
filenames (eg. jquery-1.10.2.min.js). (Closes: #833613)

specified in a data file rather than in the code itself.
