Severity: minor
while swapping around different versions of the control file i managed o
build a .deb with the long description boilerplate "<insert long
description here.." and lintian doesn't complain about it. while this
isn't very tragic, it would nbe nice if this was checked anyway

Changes:
lintian (1.22.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
The ``Fix those false positives, mkay'' release, prepared for all Debian
Maintainers by Frank Lichtenheld and Jeroen van Wolffelaar.
Best served cold.
.
* debian/control:
+ [FL] Make Uploaders a single line field. It didn't really
break, but at least DDPO had its difficulties
.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [FL] sync man page with the --help output by adding missing options
Based on a patch by Robert Lemmen. (Closes: #198615)
+ [FL] sync man page with the current list of checks and collection
scripts
.
* checks/binaries:
+ [FL] Don't complain about non-stripped kernel modules.
Patch by Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsaker (Closes: #203373)
+ [JvW] Exclude binaries and packages named *-static from the
binary-is-static test. Exception for sash removed. (Closes: #215235)
* checks/changelog-file:
+ [FL] Check that encoding of changelog file is UTF-8, based on a patch by
Denis Barbier (Closes: #175318)
* checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+ [FL] Don't advise to point to the perl packages' copyright file.
Thanks to Martin Orr for pointing this out. (Closes: #193293)
+ [FL] Fixed false positives of
copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl due to
the GFDL. Thanks to Ross Burton for reporting this. (Closes: #192278)
* checks/deb-format{,.desc}:
+ [JvW] Fix perl variable-name clash causing unusually formatted error
output (only important if you do automatic processing on it)
+ [FL] The current script is by Denis Barbier, correcting author in
.desc file
* checks/debhelper.desc:
+ [FL] correct reference to debhelper manpage. It's debhelper(7), not
debhelper(1). Thanks to Brian Nelson for pointing this out
(Closes: #188245)
* checks/debconf:
+ [JvW] Update valid types, since currently 'title' is supported now too
(Closes: #234379, #234608)
* checks/description:
+ [FL] fix description-is-dh_make-template check. (Closes: #215125)
Fix suggested by Josip Rodin
* checks/etcfiles.desc:
+ [FL] correcting abbrevation of etcfiles to 'etc', was 'ini' which
is already used by init.d
* checks/fields:
+ [FL] Really check only "real" dependency fields for needlessy
depends (Closes: #185035)
+ [JvW] Don't consider depending on coreutils bad, as this is in a way a
versioned depend (Closes: #216536)
+ [FL] Remove the build-depends-without-arch-dep check. It produces
way too much false positives and can only be replaced by
a sophisticated debian/rules parser
(Closes: #192037, #202950, #214231)
+ [JvW] Test syntax of Uploaders: too
+ [JvW] Accept more whitespace in relations, which is allowed according to
policy, thanks Adrian Bunk for noticing, FL for patch (Closes: #200280)
* checks/filenames:
+ [JvW] Revised the symlink detection stuff, it is now more rigorous, and
has seperate warning for recursive symlinks that are otherwise not
necessarily wrong (Closes: #118080)
* checks/files:
+ [FL] only issue package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5 if
there is no binary perl file at all in the package, since this
reflects the way the Installer module behaves (Closes: #199898)
* checks/huge-usr-share:
+ [JvW] Check for a big /usr/share (currently 1-2MB will trigger it) in
arch-dependent packages. Currently just I:. Thanks Steve McIntyre for
the idea. (Closes: #232849)
* checks/menus{,.desc}:
+ [FL] Remove non-exectuable-in-etc-menu-methods as it doesn't
reflects the current menu manual (Closes: #229460)
* checks/po-debconf:
+ [JvW] Check whether files listed in debian/po/POTFILES.in actually
exist, and only positively detect po-debconf usage if dependency is
there. (Patch by Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org>, only minimally
modified)
* checks/scripts:
+ [FL] Fix check for "exec ..." line. Fix suggested by Josip Rodin.
(Closes: #212811)
+ [JvW] Tighten up mknod, dpkg --print-architecture and killall detection
in maintainer scripts, would need rewrite to be really sane.
(Closes: #148548, #161820, #192300)
* checks/shared-libs:
+ [FL] Be more tolerant to variations when checking for
postrm-unsafe-ldconfig. Thanks to Martin Godisch, Steinar H. Gunderson
and Aidas Kasparas for their input. (Closes: #218543, #233740)
.
* unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1:
+ [FL] tar uses now h to signal hardlinks which breaks a lot of our code.
so sed'ing it away. Many many thanks to Theodore Y. Ts'o for bringing
this to our attention (Closes: #234545)
