Changes:

 .
   [ Chris Lamb ]
   * Emit an experimental warning for packages that ship a cron script
     without an equivalent systemd .timer file. (Closes: #922862)
   * Make orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature a "dsc" check so it
     also appears when running against non-.changes files. (Closes: #922557)
   * Check all combinations of processables and binary package names in
     order to avoid false-positives or unused override warnings in spelling
     checks depending on whether a .deb or .dsc (etc.) is passed to Lintian.
     (Closes: #921814)
   * Prevent pkg-config-references-unknown-shared-library false positives:
     - Ignoring entries such as -lfoo{install_suffix} as they are
       interpolated at runtime by Autoconf. (Closes: #922511)
     - Create an exception list and populating with shared
       objects shipped by libc6-dev and libgcc1. (Closes: #922402)
     - Manually add "gcc" as an exception.
   * Use the source package name (not the package section) when checking for
     uses-dpkg-database-directly exceptions. (Closes: #922530)
   * Correct reference to mips64el architecture to ensure we emit
     binary-from-other-architecture on this arch. Thanks to Helmut Grohne.
     (Closes: #921573)
   * Don't emit source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number for uploads to
     backports. (Closes: #923060)
   * Ensure libpath-tiny-perl is installed regardless of nocheck build
     profile as it is needed to generate the Pod documentation.
   * Add dpatch to "nocheck" Build-Depends to avoid skipping tests
     and then don't emit build-depends-on-obsolete-package for Lintian
     itself as a result.
   * Remove "nocheck" Build-Depends restriction for libcapture-tiny-perl and
     specify it as a runtime dependency too.
   * Don't emit source-contains-prebuilt-java-object against Lintian itself
     as we ship a trivial HelloWorld.jar as a test fixture.
   * Don't print "Offering to re-calibrate..." message if we aren't actually
     about to offer.
 .
   [ Felix Lechner ]
   * Ensure unpack loop stops when process succeeds after processable failed
     to try and prevent Lintian from occasionally hanging. (Closes: #922737)
   * Fix detection of security features in Portable Executable (PE)
     binaries.
   * Update recommendation in an update-menus long description that will not
     trigger a check for full path names in maintainer scripts. (MR: !149)
   * Interactively calibrate the expected tags in failing tests (MR: !145)
     and use green and red terminal colors when adding or removing tags
     during said calibration. (MR: !153)
   * t/runtests:
     * Split processing between scripts and tag tests.
     * Split out test routines to process universal tags.
     * Change options and arguments for stand-alone operation.
   * Drop obsolete old-format-menu-file tag.
 .
   [ Guillem Jover ]
   * Don't hardcode ".gz" in the output of the malformed-deb-archive tag's
     extra information. (Closes: #922534)
 .
   [ Paul Wise ]
   * Add several spelling corrections.
