   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - unknown-multi-arch-value
       - package-needs-versioned-debhelper-build-depends
     + Removed:
       - old-versioned-python-dependency
 .
   * checks/binaries:
     + [ADB] Update binary-from-other-architecture's tests in line with the
       changes to filename output introduced in 2.5.0~rc1.
       (Closes: #614906)
   * checks/changes-file.desc:
     + [NT] Added oneiric as valid Ubuntu distribution.  Thanks to Benjamin
       Drung for the patch.  (Closes: #617227)
   * checks/deb-format:
     + [NT] Removed assumption that there was always a changelog in a binary
       with a data.tar.lzma member.
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [NT] Reduced package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper to a
       pedantic tag.  It is now only emitted for debhelper compat levels of
       7 or less, since even oldstable ships with debhelper 7.
     + [NT] Added package-needs-versioned-debhelper-build-depends, which
       replaces package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper old
       task of warning if a missing versioned depends may lead to a build
       failure.  Currently this is only emitted for compat 8 (or higher).
     + [NT] Stopped emitting tags for using dh_* (and dh) if these scripts
       is in debhelper 7 (or earlier).

       Python team.  The tag was outdated and most instances of it was
       false positives.  Thanks to Piotr Ożarowski and Jakub Wilk for
       the report and clarification.  (Closes: #619487)
     + [NT] Accepted patch from Joachim Breitner to support new Haskell
       package naming scheme.
     + [NT] Added Built-Using as a known binary and udeb field.  This
       field is supported with dpkg 1.16.0.
   * checks/files:
     + [NT] Also check files in /etc/cron.d for dots in filenames.  Thanks
       to Thijs Kinkhorst for the report and patch.  (Closes: #615072)
     + [NT] Applied patch to also detect copies of CKEditor.  Thanks to
       Jeroen Dekkers for the report and the patch.  (Closes: #616505)
     + [NT] Fixed a regression in caused by inconsistent prefixes.
   * checks/huge-usr-share:
     + [NT] Removed assumption that there is always files in usr/share.

     + [NT] Fixed an inconsistency in output of file names.  Thanks to
       أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) for the report.
       (Closes: #618921)
   * checks/menus:
     + [NT] Fixed check for special files that does not need to be

       package naming scheme.  (Closes: #616403)
   * checks/patch-systems.desc:
     + [NT] Reduced unneeded-build-dep-on-quilt to a pedantic tag,
       since some people keep the dependency on quilt to ease
       backporting for older releases.
 .
   * data/changelog-file/ubuntu-dists:
     + [NT] Added oneiric as valid Ubuntu distribution.  Thanks to Benjamin
       Drung for the patch.
   * data/common/source-fields:
     + [NT] Added 'package-list' field, which is emitted by dpkg 1.16.0.
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [NT] Added more misspellings.

     + [NT] Fixed an issue where files would not be included in the tarball
       due to dpkg-source's exclude patterns.  (Closes: #619287)
   * t/tests/*:
     + [NT] Modified some versioned dependencies that the new dpkg will
       not consider valid from 1.16.0.  (Closes: #619290)

Changes:
 lintian (2.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "Policy 3.9.1" release.
 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - embedded-library
     + Removed:
       - debian-news-entry-without-blank-line
       - dh_testversion-is-deprecated
 .
   * checks/binaries{,.desc}:
     + [RG] Detect embedded copies of expat, libbz2, libmagic, libxml2,
       pcre3, and tiff.
     + [RG] Recognise powerpcspe and sh4 ELF objects.
     + [RA] Warn that spelling-error-in-binary may produce false positives
       for words containing non-ASCII characters.  (See #588661)
   * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] apt-listchanges has been fixed, so drop the check for NEWS
       files ending in a trailing blank line.  (Closes: #586816)
   * checks/control-files.desc:
     + [RA] Add references to Policy requirements added in 3.9.1.
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add examples for copyright-without-copyright-notice.  Based on
       a patch by Jari Aalto.  (Closes: #580767)
     + [RA] Remove exceptions for GPL v1, which is now in common-licenses
       and mentioned in Policy 3.9.1.
   * checks/cruft.desc:
     + [RA] Add some hints to the ancient-libtool long description on how
       to update the libtool files oneself.  (Closes: #580767)
   * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
     + [RA] package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper can also
       trigger if the dependency is present but not tight enough.  Thanks,
       gregor herrmann.  (Closes: #588156)
     + [RA] Allow a tilde after the compatibility level in the debhelper
       dependency.  Thanks, Axel Beckert.  (Closes: #583777)
     + [RA] Remove dh_testversion-is-deprecated.  The command is no longer
       part of debhelper, so using it now just results in a build failure,
       and there are no instances in the archive.
   * checks/description.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade description-too-long to minor severity to match bug
       reporting standards for formatting bugs.  (Closes: #587837)

     + [RG] Detect embedded copies of the Strophe javascript library.

     + [RA] Improve the more-than-one-patch-system long description to
       explicitly mention the case of packages that depend on dpatch but
       are in 3.0 (quilt) format and to provide more rationale for the
       tag.  Thanks, Robert Luberda.  (Closes: #585657)
   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [RA] Ignore comments in po/POTFILES.in.  (Closes: #586036)
   * checks/rules.desc:
     + [RA] Rephrase the debian-rules-calls-debhelper-in-odd-order long
       description to try to be clearer about the ordering requirements.
       (Closes: #579964)
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Improve python-script-but-no-python-dep tag description to be
       clearer about the requirement for a versioned dependency for
       versioned scripts and to mention ${python:Depends}, created by the
       various Python debhelper scripts.  (Closes: #575590, #582763)
     + [RA] Add runhaskell and runghc.  (Closes: #589266)
     + [RA] Add references to Policy requirements added in 3.9.1.
     + [RA] Allow kill -<signal> and kill and trap with signal numbers in
       /bin/sh scrips, now allowed by Policy 3.9.1.
 .
   * debian/changelog:

 .
   * data/output/manual-references:
     + [RA] Update for Policy 3.9.1.
   * data/standards-version/release-dates:
     + [RA] Add release date for Policy 3.9.1.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
     + [RA] More correctly handle hyphenated words to avoid triggering
       spelling error false positives.  (Closes: #588896)
   * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
     + [RA] Don't require a package name component after a substvar to
       follow the rules of the beginning of a package name.  Fixes
       stronger-dependency-implies-weaker false positives containing
       substvars.  (Closes: #580494)
   * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
     + [ADB] Import "warning" from Lintian::Output, really fixing the
       error caused by a non-existent file referenced in a .changes
       file.  (Closes: #583555, again)
 .
   * private/refresh-insserv-data:
     + [RG] Hardcode the '$all' virtual facility.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Stop attempting to report unknown tags with a fake
       description.  This was failing with an error later, and the tag was
       probably removed from Lintian and is now erroneous.
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Add support for skipping raw Debian package and source package
       tests.

Changes:
 lintian (2.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "Policy 3.9.0" release.
 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - arch-wildcard-in-binary-package
       - bad-provided-package-name
       - conflicts-with-version
       - copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file

       - team-upload-has-incorrect-version-number
       - xc-package-type-in-debian-control (pedantic)
     + Removed:
       - arch-any-in-binary-pkg (now in arch-wildcard-in-binary-package)
       - package-type-in-debian-control
 .
   * checks/changes-file.desc:
     + [RA] Add references for file-size-mismatch-in-changes-file and
       checksum-mismatch-in-changes-file.
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Remove package-type-in-debian-control now that dpkg-dev handles
       it as desired by the d-i team.  xc-package-type-in-debian-control
       replaces it as a pedantic check to encourage switching to the
       official name.  Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
     + [RA] Add reference for debian-control-with-duplicate-fields.
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Deprecate references to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD in
       debian/copyright following the change in Policy 3.8.5.
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Allow Breaks without a version if the broken package is a
       virtual package.
     + [RG] Check for invalid package names in provided (virtual)
       packages.
     + [RG] Exclude dash from the depends-on-essential-package checks, as
       per discusion in debian-devel.  (Closes: #587209)
     + [RA] Allow architecture wildcards in build relations and in the
       Architecture field of binary and source packages.  (Closes: #582804)
     + [RA] Rename arch-any-in-binary-pkg to arch-wildcard-in-binary-package
       and diagnose any architecture wildcard, not just "any".
     + [RA] Warn of using Conflicts with a version, which should normally
       be Breaks instead, but only at wild-guess certainty for now.
   * checks/huge-usr-share{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Count file size from the tar listing rather than using du.  The
       results of du vary based on file system and other factors and make
       the tag difficult to test.
   * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
     + [RG] Check for init.d scripts depending on unknown virtual
       facilities.
     + [RA] Remove checkroot from the list of scripts that should use a
       virtual dependency since $local_fs is not quite the same and some
       packages (cryptsetup) care about the difference.  (Closes: #580082)
   * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Run man page checks using the en_US.UTF-8 locale now that we
       guarantee it exists.  Should hopefully fix occasional problems with
       col complaining about bad multibyte characters.  (Closes: #575661)
   * checks/menu-format.desc:
     + [RA] Fix typo in long description of duplicated-key-in-desktop-entry.
       Thanks, Niels Thykier.  (Closes: #580700)
   * checks/menus:
     + [RG] Recognise call to update-menus when using 'exec.'
     + [RA] Skip Haskell library documentation when warning about
       documentation not registered with doc-base.  Patch from Erik de
       Castro Lopo.  (Closes: #586877)
   * checks/nmu{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Recognize team uploads and do not treat them like NMUs.  Patch
       from Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #582741)
   * checks/rules.desc:
     + [RA] Add reference for debian-rules-makemaker-prefix-is-deprecated.
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RG] Correctly handle variables at the beginning of a call to
       dpkg-divert.  Thanks, Andreas Beckmann.  (Closes: #586984)

     + [RA] Update to current unstable and add the old xserver-xorg video
       and input virtual packages.
   * data/files/locale-codes:
     + [RG] Refresh to reflect change to private/refresh-locale-codes.
   * data/files/triplets:
     + [RG] Refresh against dpkg 1.15.7.2.
   * data/init.d/virtual_facilities
     + [RG] New list of virtual facilities that exist in the archive.
   * data/output/ftp-master-fatal:
     + [RA] Remove arch-any-in-binary-pkg.
   * data/output/manual-references:
     + [RA] Update against latest Debian Policy and devref.
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [RG] Add more spelling corrections.
   * data/spelling/corrections-case:
     + [RG] Add capitalization correction for OAuth.  (Closes: #582353)
   * data/standards-version/release-dates:
     + [RA] Add Debian Policy 3.9.0.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Set a PATH of /bin:/usr/bin if PATH is completely unset.
       Thanks, Carsten Hey.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
     + [RG] Correctly handle ELF binaries with whitespaces in their name.
   * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
     + [RA] Rather than allowing only a package name or a substvar, allow
       substvars mixed into the package name.  (Closes: #580494)
   * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
     + [ADB] Add missing "use Lintian::Output", required for the use of
       warning().  (Closes: #583555)
 .
   * private/refresh-insserv-data:
     + [RG] New script to collect insserv data from the archive.
   * private/refresh-locale-codes:
     + [RG] Print elements with values only once.
   * private/refresh-virtual-packages-data:
     + [RA] Fix handling of # Keep: lines to work correctly now that
       virtual packages mentioned only once are excluded.

     + [RA] Suppress embedded-zlib if the zlib implementation is the Pascal

   The "goodbye to unpack level 2" release.

   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - init.d-script-missing-start
       - debian-news-entry-has-unknown-version
       - debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk
       - debian-news-entry-without-blank-line
       - non-native-package-with-native-version
       - udev-rule-in-etc
 .
   * {checks,collection}/*.desc:
     + [RG] Remove Unpack-Level fields and depend on the 'unpacked'
       collection script as needed.
   * checks/binaries:
     + [RG] Recognise hppa64 binaries and ignore them on the
       binary-from-other-architecture check for hppa.
       Thanks, Matthias Klose.  (Closes: #562788)
   * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Per devref, recommend against NEWS.Debian entries formatted
       with asterisks like changelog entries.
     + [RA] Check that the most recent NEWS.Debian entry is followed by a
       blank line for apt-listchanges.  Thanks, Adeodato Simó.  (Addresses
       the Lintian part of #523436)
     + [RA] Warn if the version of the latest NEWS.Debian entry doesn't
       appear in the changelog.  Thanks, Christoph Berg.  (Closes: #550594)
   * checks/control-file:
     + [RA] Fix parsing of dependencies for weak-library-dev-dependency

       Cristau.  (Closes: #563370)

       Andreas Beckmann.
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [RA] Always warn if debhelper is in use but no ${misc:Depends}
       dependency is present rather than checking which specific debhelper
       commands use it.  Any debhelper command may start adding
       dependencies to ${misc:Depends} at any time.  Lower the certainty to
       possible, since a missing ${misc:Depends} may not cause problems.
   * checks/fields.desc:
     + [RA] Fix spelling error in dfsg-version-with-period tag description.
       Thanks, Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #563185)

       to minor.
     + [RG] Fix a init.d-script-possible-missing-stop false positive when
       stopping on runlevels 2-5.
     + [RG] Mention 'killprocs' in init.d-script-possible-missing-stop's
       description.  Thanks, Kurt Roeckx.  (Closes: #562608)
     + [RG] Warn about init scripts with incomplete start runlevels.
     + [RG] Tighten check for missing dependency on local_fs or remote_fs
       when using files with a name of 'var*' or 'usr*'.
     + [RG] Also recognise the use of the -r test as a file test, and
       the test command when determining whether a /etc/default file is
       being sourced unconditionally.
     + [RG] Correct the description of the
       missing-dependency-on-{remote,local_fs} tags where 'is' was meant
       to be used instead of 'are'.
   * checks/manpages.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade spelling-error-in-manpage to minor severity.
       (Closes: #563039)

   * collection/ar-info:
     + [RA] Skip *.a files that are dangling symlinks and discard error
       output from ar.  Correctly handle file names that contain shell
       metacharacters.
   * collection/unpacked{,.desc}:
     + [RG] New scripts to replace the unpack level 2.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RG] Deprecate and replace unpack levels with the use of
       collection scripts.
     + [ADB] Remove an unused variable declaration.
 .
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [ADB] Add corrections for "nam" (name) and "nams" (names).
     + [RG] Add some more spelling errors.
     + [RG] Uppercase every character of the correction if every
       character of the original word is too.
     + [RA] Superceded is an acceptable alternative spelling of superseded.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RG] Document deprecation of unpack levels.
     + [ADB] Add the new "unpacked" collection script to the list of such
       scripts.
     + [ADB] Correct the documentation of --tags-from-file to indicate that
       the file contains tags to issue, not suppress.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Sort the tags so that the maintainer view will group repeated
       instances of the same tag and display extra information in sorted
       order.  (Closes: #563126)
     + [RA] Better handle missing information for packages in the package
       lists and default the package area to main.
   * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
     + [RA] Fix the logic to optionally display the archive area of
       additional package entries under the same source package.
 .
   * unpack/unpack-{src,bin}pkg-l2:
     + [RG] Dropped in favour of collection/unpacked.

   * checks/*:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
   * checks/binaries{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Allow any RPATH containing $ORIGIN or ${ORIGIN}, not just the
       literal value $ORIGIN.  (Closes: #557511)
     + [ADB] Exempt all binary packages built from the zlib source from
       the embedded-zlib test, not just those with binary package names
       matching zlib.+.  Thanks, Mark Brown.
     + [RA] Spelling errors are no longer normalized to lowercase.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [RA] Suppress latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date if the
       distribution is UNRELEASED.  Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog.
       (Closes: #560149)
     + [RA] Also ignore too-long lines that consist of "See" followed by an
       unbreakable word.  Thanks, Jari Aalto.  (Closes: #560005)
     + [RA] Downgrade spelling tags to severity: minor.
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Check for < and > version dependencies in debian/control since
       dpkg-source helpfully rewrites and fixes them in binary packages.
       Thanks, Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #557971)
     + [RA] Add a pedantic check for duplicates in relation fields in
       debian/control prior to the fixes applied by dpkg-dev.  Thanks,
       Nelson A. de Oliveira.  (Closes: #548819)
     + [RA] Fix a typo that skipped checks on the Build-Conflicts field.
     + [RA] Rework weak-library-dev-dependency to allow more approaches to
       bounding the shared library version.  Skip complex cases with or'd
       dependencies and assume the maintainer knows what they're doing.
       Add more explanation to the long tag description.  Thanks, Reinhard
       Tartler and Mike Hommey.  (Closes: #557449)
   * checks/copyright-file.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade spelling-error-in-copyright to minor and mention
       false positive possibilities and an override in the tag description.
   * checks/cruft:
     + [RA] Allow an automake or libtool dependency in Build-Depends-Indep
       to also satisfy the check for outdated helper files.  Thanks,
       Guillaume Delacour.  (Closes: #557530)
     + [RA] Ignore files in .pc, created by unpacking 3.0 (quilt) packages.
       Thanks, Ahmed El-Mahmoudy.  (Closes: #556022)
   * checks/debian-readme.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade spelling tag to severity: minor.
   * checks/description{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Downgrade spelling tag to severity: minor.
     + [RA] Split capitalization-error-in-description to a separate tag and
       downgrade its certainty to wild-guess.
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [ADB] Re-order the fields of build-depends-on-build-essential so that
       all of the descriptive text is included.  Thanks, Jonathan Wiltshire.
       (Closes: #557786)
     + [RA] For lib-recommends-documentation, exclude packages ending in
       -tools or -bin.  Thanks, Jay Berkenbilt.  (Closes: #557883)
     + [RA] Warn of build dependencies on python*-dev if no architecture-
       dependent packages are being built.  Patch from Luca Falavigna.
       (Closes: #551793)
     + [RA] Add emacs22 to obsolete emacs versions.  Thanks, Sven Joachim.
       (Closes: #560053)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] New check for files present in both compressed and uncompressed
       form.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #546174)
     + [RA] Allow /etc/sudoers.d files to be mode 0440 as recommended by
       sudo.  Thanks, Thijs Kinkhorst.  (Closes: #557353)
   * checks/huge-usr-share{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Increase the thresholds to 2MB (over 50%) and 4MB (any
       percentage), and mention the thresholds in the tag description.
       Thanks, Christoph Egger.  (Closes: #561720)
   * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add checks for missing dependencies on $local_fs or $remote_fs
       based on what files appear to be used in the init scripts.  Patch
       from Raphael Geissert.  (Partly addresses #405454)
   * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
     + [RG] Check for spelling errors in English manpages.
   * checks/manpages.desc:
     + [RA] Clarify the long description of hyphen-used-as-minus-sign.
       Note that Debian groff is currently patched to avoid this problem,
       but hopefully that divergence can be removed.  Reference
       groff-base's README.Debian for more information.  (Closes: #548844)
   * checks/menus.desc:
     + [RA] Change spelling tags to severity: minor and certainty: certain
       since there are few false positives but minor is the correct
       severity.
   * checks/ocaml{,.desc}:
     + [RA] New checks for OCaml packaging.  Contributed by Stéphane
       Glondu.  (Closes: #528367)
   * checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Recommend DEP-3 in {dpatch,quilt}-patch-missing-description and
       reference the document.  Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog.  (Closes: #554025)
     + [RA] Allow DEP-3 headers in dpatch patches to satisfy the
       description requirement.  Thanks, Paul Gevers.  (Closes: #548640)
   * checks/rules{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Remove build-depends-without-arch-dep.  If the package only
       builds architecture-independent packages, the distinction between
       Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep is meaningless and there's no
       reason, even pedantically, to worry about the separation.  Thanks,
       Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #552200, #555667)
     + [RA] Add a new check for DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL = yes.
       Thanks, Nelson A. de Oliveira.  (Closes: #557120)
 .
   * collection/ar-info{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Collects the results of ar t on all *.a files, used by the new
       OCaml checks.  Contributed by Stéphane Glondu.
   * collection/override-file:
     + [RA] Check debian/source/lintian-overrides before
       debian/source.lintian-overrides for source package overrides.
       Thanks, martin f krafft.  (Closes: #554617)
 .
   * data/debhelper/*:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/{perl-provides,virtual-packages}:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/output/ftp-master-{non,}fatal:
     + [RA] New data files listing tags that may result in an automated
       upload reject.
 .
   * doc/lintian.sgml:
     + [RA] Document debian/source/lintian-overrides as the new preferred
       location for source overrides.
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [RG] Add Raphael Geissert to Uploaders.
     + [RA] Add ${misc:Depends} to dependencies.
   * debian/copyright:
     + [RG] Add Raphael Geissert to maintainers.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Add options --suppress-tags and --suppress-tags-from-file to
       completely suppress the given tags.
     + [RA] Support comments and blank lines in --tags-from-file files.
     + [RA] Run the check modules in sorted order.
     + [RA] Create a global Lintian::Tags object and use it instead of
       setting variables in the Tags namespace.  Move display level code
       from here to Lintian::Tags.  Adjust calls for the new Lintian::Tags
       module.
     + [RA] Add option -F or --ftp-master-rejects which only checks tags
       that could result in an automatic upload reject.
   * frontend/lintian-info:
     + [RA] Add -h/--help option.  Patch from gregor herrmann.
       (Closes: #558214)
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
   * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
     + [RA] print_tag() now takes an additional argument containing
       override data and expects a Lintian::Tag::Info object as the tag
       info instead of a hash.
     + [RA] Adjust for the renaming of pkg in the file information hash.
   * lib/Lintian/Output/*.pm:
     + [RA] Adjust for print_tag() and file information hash changes.
   * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
     + [RA] Rewrite to be more readable and fix the tags attribute for
       overridden experimental tags.
   * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
     + [RA] Fix bugs in unparse() and duplicates() that caused duplicates()
       to crash when processing duplicates between an alternative and a
       regular package.  Thanks, Jonathan Yu.  (Closes: #559625)
   * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
     + [RA] Add a code method that returns the tag code corresponding to
       the severity and certainty for a tag, based on get_tag_code from
       Tags.pm.
     + [RA] Add certainty, severity, and tag accessor methods.
     + [RA] Add a method saying whether a tag is experimental.
     + [RA] Record the check script corresponding to each tag and add an
       accessor method for it.
     + [RA] Add a sources method returning a list of sources referenced by
       a tag, based on the get_tag_source method from Tags.pm.
   * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
     + [RA] New module in a proper namespace replacing Tags.pm.  A global
       Lintian::Tags object replaces the static variables in the Tags
       namespace, with new accessor functions, except for the tag metadata
       functions (which have moved to Lintian::Tag::Info).  All handling of
       display levels is now here instead of in frontend/lintian.
     + [RA] Support suppressing a list of tags.
     + [RA] Suppress calling Lintian::Output::print_end_pkg for changes
       files, where we don't call print_start_pkg.  This fixes an unmatched
       closing tag in the experimental XML output.
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
     + [RA] Ignore all-caps words of five characters or less for spelling
       corrections, since they are probably acronyms.  Thanks, Michal
       Čihař.  (Closes: #556456)
     + [RA] Report the original word in spelling errors rather than the
       normalized form.
     + [RG] Detect some multi-word spelling errors.
     + [RA] Remove the als to also correction.  This is a word in several
       European languages, and the many hits on the archive are nearly all
       false positives.
   * lib/Tags.pm:
     + [RA] Removed in favor of Lintian::Tags.
   * lib/Util.pm:
     + [RA] Consume all output from extracting the control file of a binary
       package before closing the pipe.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Document --suppress-tags and --suppress-tags-from-file.
     + [RA] Document format of --tags-from-file.
     + [RA] Document -F (--ftp-master-rejects).
     + [RA] Add ocaml checker script.
     + [RA] Add ar-info collection script.
     + [RA] Document the override locations in the FILES section.  Thanks,
       Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #558649)
     + [RA] Remove obsolete spelling checker script.
     + [RA] Mention /usr/share/lintian/data under FILES.
     + [RA] Clarify that errors are not necessarily policy violations.
     + [RA] Remove bug that Lintian doesn't handle packages with different
       binary and source versions correctly.  I don't believe this is still
       an issue.
   * man/lintian-info.1:
     + [RA] Add -h (--help).
     + [RA] lintian -i no longer pipes output through lintian-info.  Adjust
       the man page accordingly.
 .
   * private/refresh-ftp-master-tags:
     + [RA] Script to refresh data about automatic package rejects.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Never use O as the code for the tag on the per-tag page even if
       all instances in the archive are overridden.  (Closes: #562630)
 .
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Unwrap the Options field so that it can be continued.
     + [RA] Replace TESTSET in Options with the root of the test suite so
       that lintian options referring to files can be tested with files in
       the test suite directory.
     + [RA] Support a new Sort: no field in package test metadata to
       suppress sorting of lintian output, for testing output formatting.
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Command::spawn to run Lintian for package tests so
       that the lintian options may contain shell metacharacters.
     + [RA] Put all error output from lintian unsorted before the regular
       output, making it easier to diagnose errors.
     + [RA] Suppress checking the syntax of the lintian output if neither
       Test-For nor Test-Against are set and Sort: no is set.
 .
   * unpack/list-{bin,src,udeb}pkg:
     + [RA] Support multiple versions of a package in the archive and
       include only the latest version in the Lintian package list.
   * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l2:
     + [RA] Report errors from dpkg-deb or tar on stderr if either exit
       with non-zero status.
   * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2:
     + [RA] Report errors from dpkg-source -x on stderr if it exits with
       non-zero status.  (Closes: #557717)

Changes:
 lintian (2.2.18) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "synchronize severities with ftpmaster's Lintian checks" release.
 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Removed:
       - copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
     + Promoted from experimental:
       - spelling-error-in-binary
       - template-uses-unsplit-choices
 .
   * checks/binaries.desc:
     + [RA] Remove experimental marker on spelling-error-in-binary.  Change
       severity to minor; spelling errors are minor bugs.
     + [RA] library-in-debug-or-profile-should-not-be-stripped,
       binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath, arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share, and
       binary-in-etc, binary-file-compressed-with-upx,
       binary-with-bad-dynamic-table, and embedded-zlib are now
       serious since they can result in ftpmaster rejects.  embedded-zlib,
       missing-dependency-on-libc, and binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath are
       possible rather than certain since overrides are allowed.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [FL] Avoid various Perl warnings which can be caused by
       completly broken changelog files.
   * checks/conffiles.desc:
     + [RA] file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile is serious (ftpmaster reject).
       Add a Policy reference and improve the description.
     + [RA] non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile is serious/possible rather than
       important/certain (ftpmaster reject unless overridden).
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Say to use (= ${binary:Version}) to fix weak dependencies
       between a library dev package and the shared library.  Thanks,
       Norbert Preining.  (Closes: #548218)
     + [ADB] Fix an uninitialised value warning when processing a
       -dev package which has no Depends: fields.  Thanks, Lucas
       Nussbaum.
     + [RA] build-info-in-binary-control-file-section and
       debian-control-with-duplicate-fields are now serious (ftpmaster
       reject).
     + [RA] Allow -dev dependencies based on source:Upstream-Version or
       source:Version if the -dev package is architecture: all.  Thanks,
       Mike Hommey.  (Closes: #552729)
   * checks/control-files.desc:
     + [RA] not-allowed-control-file, control-file-has-bad-permissions, and
       control-file-has-bad-owner are now serious (ftpmaster reject).
       Mention that the config control file should also be executable.
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [FL] Add special exception to no-copyright-file for perl.
       See #522827 for discussion.  (Closes: #553262)
     + [FL] Extend match for exceptions to copyright-refers-to-symlink-license
       to catch more ways to specify Perl's license.  Patch from
       Salvatore Bonaccorso.  (Closes: #549596)
     + [RA] copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
       removed, as some package maintainers prefer to use Author(s) and
       have filled out the copyright file.  (Closes: #553469)
     + [RA] Add additional dh_make template strings to the
       helper-templates-in-copyright check, including the templates for
       upstream author or copyright holder, which effectively replaces
       copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate with far
       fewer false positives.
     + [RA] Remove a duplication of the check for "This copyright info was
       automatically extracted from the perl module" by dh-make-perl, and
       ensure that this is copyright-contains-dh-make-perl-boilerplate and
       not helper-templates-in-copyright, since it is lower severity.
     + [RA] copyright-refers-to-old-directory, old-style-copyright-file,
       usr-share-doc-symlink-without-dependency,
       usr-share-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package,
       copyright-refers-to-incorrect-directory, and
       copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate are now serious
       (ftpmaster reject).  copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate is
       possible (overrides allowed).  Significantly improve the description
       of usr-share-doc-symlink-without-dependency to mention that Lintian
       doesn't look at transitive dependencies, and change to possible.
   * checks/cruft:
     + [FL] Add automake1.11 to list of autotools packages.  Thanks,
       Laurent Bigonville.  (Closes: #551051)
     + [RA] Allow CMakeCache.txt files in the debian directory.  Thanks,
       Aaron M. Ucko.  (Closes: #553264)
   * checks/debconf.desc:
     + [FL] Remove experimental flag from template-uses-unsplit-choices.
       This was only done to not disrupt the lenny freeze.  Thanks,
       Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #553487)
   * checks/description.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly to
       minor and fix the cross-reference to point to devref, not Policy.
     + [RA] description-is-dh_make-template is serious (ftpmaster reject).
   * checks/etcfiles.desc:
     + [RA] file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile is serious (ftpmaster
       reject).
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Fix lib-recommends-documentation tag to correctly exclude dev
       and doc packages.  Patch from Stéphane Glondu.  (Closes: #548210)
     + [FL] Allow source formats 3.0 (quilt) and 3.0 (native).
       (Closes: #552707)
     + [RA] Multiple maintainer-* and uploader-* tags for syntax errors or
       localhost addresses are now serious (ftpmaster reject), as are
       section-is-dh_make-template and bad-relation.
   * checks/files.desc:
     + [RA] Add a note to wrong-file-owner-uid-or-gid that it's possible to
       construct a Policy-compliant package that triggers this tag by
       creating users in preinst, and asking package maintainers to file a
       bug against Lintian if they encounter a case where this appears to
       be necessary.
     + [RA] package-contains-ancient-file, package-installs-python-pyc
       symlink-has-too-many-up-segments, and package-contains-info-dir-file
       are now serious (ftpmaster reject).
     + [RA] dir-or-file-in-var-www is now serious/possible (ftpmaster
       reject unless overridden).
     + [RA] dir-or-file-in-{tmp,mnt,opt,srv} are now serious and have the
       proper File Hierarchy Standard cross-references and descriptions.
     + [RA] Don't suggest creating a symlink to the python-feedparser
       library.  Just use the normal Python import mechanism.  Thanks,
       Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #555617)
   * checks/lintian.desc:
     + [CW] Add lucid as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
       gutsy.
   * checks/manpages.desc:
     + [ADB] Mention in the description for manpage-has-errors-from-man
       that Lintian passes "-E UTF-8" to man when running checks.  Thanks,
       Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #555320)
     + [RA] Also suppress failures to break lines if the reported line is
       a .UE macro, which marks the end of a block defining a URL.  Thanks,
       Martin Stigge.
   * checks/patch-systems:
     + [RA] Do not issue patch-system-but-no-source-readme for packages in
       3.0 (quilt) format.  Patch from Stéphane Glondu.  (Closes: #553207)
     + [RA] Don't consider the "index <sha1>..<sha1>" line added by git
       diff to be a patch description.  (Closes: #553697)
     + [RA] If a diff outside of the patch system only creates new files
       that can be copied into place by the package build rules, suggest
       just putting them in the debian directory rather than using a patch
       system.  Thanks, Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #550924)
   * checks/rules.desc:
     + [RA] missing-build-dependency is now serious/possible (ftpmaster
       reject unless overridden).
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add some more details to executable-not-elf-or-script about
       possible causes and how to correct them.
     + [RA] Suggest mkfifo in mknod-in-maintainer-script if the script was
       creating a named pipe.
     + [RA] Add rep.  Thanks, Rodrigo Gallardo.  (Closes: #510954)
     + [RA] Add r.  Thanks, Dirk Eddelbuettel.  (Closes: #555278)
     + [RA] Add rackup.  Thanks, Sebastien Delafond.  (Closes: #552013)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [FL] Add /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages to exception list for
       incorrect-libdir-in-la-file.  Thanks, Mathieu Trudel.
       (Closes: #551134)
 .
   * data/changelog-file/ubuntu-dists:
     + [CW] Add lucid as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
       gutsy.
   * data/doc-base/sections:
     + [FL] Update from doc-base 0.9.5. Adds Typesetting section.
       Thanks Julian Gilbey.  (Closes: #552526)
   * data/fields/architectures:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/perl-provides:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/virtual-packages:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Add additional explanation of experimental tags.  Remove the
       comment that pedantic tags are frequently wrong; that's not what
       they're for.  Improve the explanation for -i to not imply that
       everything Lintian finds is a Policy violation.
 .
   * private/refresh-perl-provides:
     + [ADB] Special-case libio-compress-perl; the package contains the
       modules which used to be in libio-compress-* but does not contain
       IO::Compress.  Patch from Niko Tyni.  (Closes: #554393)

   * Urgency medium to beat libclass-accessor-perl into testing.
 .
   * checks/control-file:
     + [RA] Correctly exclude lib*-dev dependencies on other lib*-dev
       packages that contain a version number.  Thanks, Yves-Alexis Perez.
       (Closes: #547773)
 .
   * debian/control:
     + [RA] Explicitly depend on libclass-accessor-perl, since we use it
       directly.  (libparse-debianchangelog-perl was implicitly ensuring it
       was installed.)

   * checks/binaries{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add a new check for OCaml bytecode executables.  Patch from
       Stéphane Glondu.  (Closes: #498138)
     + [RA] Allow ldconfig to be statically linked.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [RA] Don't warn about a symlinked changelog file if the version
       contains ubuntu.  Thanks, Benjamin Drung.  (Closes: #536434)
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [RA] Moved the essential package list to data/fields.
   * checks/copyright-file:
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Data to read the essential package list.
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [RA] Ignore whitespace when checking debian/compat, since Perl will
       when converting it to a number.  Thanks, Niels Thykier.
       (Closes: #545430)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Exclude base-files from the needlesly-depends-on-awk tag
       and from the warning about depending on a virtual package without
       a real package for the awk virtual package.
     + [RA] Use Lintian::Data to read the essential package list.
     + [RA] Stop allowing unversioned build dependencies on coreutils.  The
       migration from fileutils is long since finished.
     + [RA] Check for build dependencies on packages that should not be
       used for builds.  (Closes: #540594)
     + [RA] Allow architecture-dependent metapackages, since it can be
       useful for metapackages to change dependencies based on the
       architecture.  Thanks, Vagrant Cascadian.  (Closes: #544004)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Suppress non-standard-dir-perm for /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/local,
       /var/lock, and /usr/src if they have their normal owner and
       permissions.  This suppresses some Lintian tags for base-files.
     + [RA] Allow base-files to ship /var/backups and /var/local.
     + [RA] Remove swfobject.js from the known packaged Javascript
       libraries.  The version in libjs-yui is old and the new version is
       not packaged.  Thanks, Giuseppe Iuculano.  (Closes: #542046)
     + [RA] Allow t1- and xfonts- as prefixes for font packages since the
       font regex is also looking for Type 1 fonts.  Thanks, Rogério
       Brito.  (Closes: #542389)
     + [RA] Stop looking for *.pcf files outside font packages.  The check
       wasn't triggering since PCF files are always compressed, and the
       situation for PCF font packages is more complex and not suitable for
       the same check.
     + [RA] Add mootools.js to embedded-javascript-library.  Patch from
       Marcelo Jorge Vieira (metal).  (Closes: #545716)
     + [RA] Check for putting data that should be in /usr/share under
       /usr/share/games.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #534486)
   * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add new checks for starting in runlevels 0 and 6, providing a
       virtual facility, not providing a facility matching the script, not
       depending on a virtual facility, and inconsistent stop runlevels.
       Patch from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #544221)
   * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
     + [ADB] Add HTTPS to the list of recognised protocols for URLs in manpages
       which should not cause manpage-has-errors-from-man to be emitted.
       (Closes: #543641)
     + [RA] Document the MANWIDTH variable when running man by hand to
       check for man page errors.  (Closes: #542584)
     + [RA] Adjust the exclusion of pod2man's .IX macro for the new
       output format from groff.
   * checks/menu-format{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add a pointer to desktop-file-validate in many of the tag
       descriptions for desktop tags.  (Closes: #539403)
     + [RA] Mention in the description of desktop-entry-invalid-category
       that whitespace isn't allowed and categories are case-sensitive.
     + [RA] Add a new check for desktop entries that are limited to
       multiple environments.  NotShowIn was probably intended instead.
       Thanks, Andrew Lee.  (Closes: #537737)
   * checks/rules:
     + [RA] Anchor the dh_quilt regex to not trigger on commented-out
       calls.  Patch from Cesare Tirabassi.  (Closes: #543259)
     + [RA] When checking for out-of-order debhelper calls, take into
       account the -p flag and only check within each package.  Thanks,
       Michael Koch.  (Closes: #545219)
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Don't warn about missing dependencies on programs if the
       program invocation is followed by || true.  Thanks, Aurelien Jarno.
       (Closes: #541372)
     + [RA] Permit diversion of a man page as long as the package is
       installing a man page by the same name in the same numeric section,
       even if the specific section is different.  Thanks, Niko Tyni.
       (Closes: #543781)
     + [RA] Check example scripts for most of the same issues as scripts
       elsewhere in the package, but report problems with a different set
       of tags with info or pedantic severity.  Patch from Damyan Ivanov.
       (Closes: #543873)
     + [RA] Add seed.  Thanks, Josselin Mouette.  (Closes: #543779)
     + [RA] Add pike 7.8.  Thanks, Magnus Holmgren.  (Closes: #543262)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [RA] Allow ld.so to be executable.  (Closes: #538716)
 .
   * data/fields/essential:
     + [RA] New list of essential packages.
     + [RA] Add dash.  (Closes: #541744)
     + [RA] Add diffutils and remove diff.  (Closes: #544277)
   * data/fields/no-build-depends:
     + [RA] New list of packages that should not be used as build
       dependencies, currently containing only java-propose-classpath.
       Thanks, Josh Triplett.
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [RA] Refresh and include Type 1 fonts and packages as well.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
     + [RA] Stop looking for the special OCaml symbol.  OCaml custom
       binaries are now detected another way.  Patch from Stéphane Glondu.
   * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
     + [RA] If declining to add a duplicate file to the Lintian check
       schedule, return success to avoid a spurious error message.  Patch
       from Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #542072)
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Add spelling correction for "aplication."  (Closes: #546404)
 .
   * private/refresh-fonts-data:
     + [RA] To match what checks/files looks for, also look for *.pfb files
       and packages starting with t1-.
 .
   * reporting/{html_reports,templates/clean.tmpl}:
     + [JP] Don't link to full report if the maintainer only has clean
       packages. (Closes: #545781)

       syntax-error-in-debian-changelog.  (Closes: #541119)
   * checks/debconf:
     + [CW] Permit Help: in .templates files, which is supported as of
       cdebconf 0.143 and used in the installer.
   * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
     + [CW] Check for the use of debhelper override targets, which require
       debhelper 7.0.50.
     + [RA] Don't warn about recently deprecated debhelper commands in
       possibly optional portions of debian/rules.  (Closes: #537607)
     + [RA] Don't warn about missing build dependencies for commands in
       possibly optional portions of debian/rules.  (Closes: #537608)
   * checks/description:
     + [RA] Decode descriptions from UTF-8 before checking length.  Thanks,
       Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #537207)
     + [RA] Avoid duplicated word false positives from words that contain
       punctuation.  Thanks, Nelson A. de Oliveira.  (Closes: #540348)
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [FL] packages named lib*-camlp4-dev should be in section ocaml
     + [RA] Move debian/rules parsing to check build dependencies to
       checks/rules.
     + [RA] Allow any package to be in section oldlibs without triggering
       warnings.  Thanks, Rene Engelhard.  (Closes: #537606)
     + [RA] Lower wrong-section-according-to-package-name to possible.
     + [RA] Recognize packages as metapackages even if they contain Lintian
       overrides, thus fixing two packages that added a Lintian override
       for having dependencies only permitted for metapackages, which in
       turn ensures that they keep getting that tag.
     + [RA] Recognize packages as metapackages even if they contain files
       in /usr/share/cdd.
     + [RA] Renamed the tags for depending or build-depending on X
       metapackages to make them generic and load the list of metapackages
       from data/fields/metapackages.  Always consider known metapackages
       to be metapackages for the dependency check.

       Drung.  (Closes: #541143)

       exception.  (Closes: #540425)
     + [RA] Allow :ext: CVS repository references if the username looks
       like it won't require autentication.  Thanks, Thorsten Glaser.

     + [CW] /var/lock and /var/run are not temporary filesystems in d-i, so
       don't emit errors about their use in udebs.
     + [RA] Warn about packages containing files in /etc/ld.so.conf.d that
       don't appear to be part of libc.  Policy 3.8.3 no longer permits
       modification of ld.so.conf.
     + [RA] Remove the check for x11-common pre-depends before installing
       files in /usr/{include,lib}/X11.  Policy 3.8.3 removes this
       requirement.
   * checks/infofiles{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add missing leading * to example info directory entry.
     + [RA] Check that packages with info files depend on dpkg or
       install-info as recommended by Policy 5.8.3.
   * checks/lintian.desc:
     + [RA] Expand multiple-distributions-in-changes-file description and
       add a reference to the Policy section.  Change certainty to
       possible, since this may be fine for non-Debian uploads.
   * checks/menus{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add info-level tag for packages with apparent HTML or PDF
       documentation in /usr/share/doc but no doc-base registration.  Based

       Based on a patch from Jonathan Yu.  (Closes: #537969)
   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [CW] Don't emit not-using-po-debconf if all templates are marked "for
       internal use".  (Closes: #492626)
   * checks/rules{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Moved checking of build dependencies based on programs invoked
       in debian/rules from checks/fields to here.
     + [RA] Expand Lintian's understanding of which targets are run for the
       clean target to include targets invoked via pattern variable
       expansion.  (Closes: #536405)
     + [RA] Make the handling of make variables as rule names more robust
       and avoid generating invalid regexes.
     + [RA] Packages including /usr/share/mozilla-devscripts makefile
       fragments in debian/rules must Build-Depend on mozilla-devscripts.
       Thanks, Benjamin Drung.  (Closes: #541144)
   * checks/scripts:

       a number, followed by a redirection.  Thanks, Andreas Beckmann.
       (Closes: #534942)
     + [RA] Warn about maintainter scripts that modify /etc/ld.so.conf.
       Policy 3.8.3 no longer permits this.
     + [RA] Avoid command-with-path-in-maintainer-script false positives
       with backtick expressions as arguments to commands.  Thanks, Stefan
       Fritsch.  (Closes: #536397)
   * checks/watch-file:
     + [RA] Fix false positives in debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version
       when an upstream version is specified in the watch file and give the
       line number of mangling issues.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
       (Closes: #536404)
