   * checks/changelog-file.desc:
     + [CL] Improve the long description of epoch-change-without-comment.
       Based on suggestions by Raphael Hertzog and Ian Jackson - thanks!
       (Closes: #889814)
   * checks/cruft.desc:
     + [BR] Check for wasm files.  (Closes: #889102)
     + [CL] Factor out call to _ships_examples to avoid excessive looping
       over $sorted_index.
     + [CL] Do not emit package-does-not-install-examples if we don't have
       any binary packages in our laboratory.  (Closes: #889591)
     + [CL] Improve the description of package-does-not-install-examples to
       give more debhelper advice.
     + [CL] Assume that if a source package generates a binary ending in
       "-examples" then it does ship examples.
   * checks/deb-format.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Add a classification tag for the .deb data tarball compression
       format.  (Closes: #738442)
     + [CL] Add a classification tag for the control tarball compression
       format.  (Closes: #889856)
   * checks/fields.pm:
     + [CL] Avoid false positives when checking binary packages depending on
       toolchain packages by ignoring packages starting with "dh-" or ending
       with "-source". Thanks to Josh Triplett for the report.
       (Closes: #889486)
   * checks/files.pm:
     + [BR] Add context for privacy breach in order to improve debugging.
   * checks/fields.desc:
     + [CL] Downgrade severity of build-depends-on-obsolete-package from
       error to warning.  (Closes: #889638)
   * checks/java.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Only warn about bad-jar-name for "public" .jar files.
       (Closes: #889628)
     + [CL] Check for .jar files that embed Foo.java alongside a Foo.class
       file.  (Closes: #762113)
   * checks/init.d.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Warn about packages that use ENABLED="true" (etc.) in
       /etc/default files.
   * checks/patch-systems.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Avoid emitting "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY
       reference" warnings when debian/patches is a file, not a directory.
       (Closes: #889535)
     + [CL] Check spelling of patch headers.  (Closes: #756130)
   * checks/rules.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Fix a number of false-positives when checking the
       "override_dh_auto_test-does-not-check-DEB_BUILD_PROFILES" tag
       (Closes: #889592)
     + [CL] Make a large number of changes suggested by Mattia Rizzolo to
       the override_dh_auto_test-does-not-check-DEB_BUILD_PROFILES tag,
       renaming it to reference DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS throughout, add Debian
       Policy 4.9.1 to the tag's Ref, lower "Certanty" to "wild-guess" and
       mark the tag as experimental, updating the tests to match.
       (Closes: #889746)
     + [CL] Check for debian/rules files that are dh_make templates.
       (Closes: #679124)
   * checks/scripts.desc:
     + [CL] Improve, elaborate and tidy the long description of the
       maintainer-script-should-not-use-recursive-chown-or-chmod tag.
       Heavily based on a patch by Daniel Kahn Gillmor - thanks!
       (Closes: #889489)
   * checks/source-copyright.pm:
     + [CL] Prevent false positives when checking for missing NOTICE.txt
       files by looking inside .jar archives.  (Closes: #889760)
   * checks/systemd.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Warn about unit files that install to usual WantedBy= targets.
       Thanks to Sam Morris for the initial patch.  (Closes: #817170)
     + [CL] Rework the no service detection, improving the (rarely
       overridden) tag names to better match what they detect as well as
       adding a new "missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script" pedantic tag
       where we do not have an equivalent unit as this implies missing
       bespoke security hardening support, etc. Thanks to Lucas Nussbaum for
       his input.  (Closes: #858588)
   * checks/udev.pm:
     + [CL] Add simple GOTO parsing to avoid false positives when checking

     + [NT] Give lower processing priority to packages that repeatedly
       trigger errors during archive-wide processing.
 .
   * reporting/templates/index.tmpl:
     + [NT] Display summary of how many groups had errors during their
       last processing.

       packages with errors during their last processing.
