Bug#1006348: lintian: Tag improbable-bug-number-in-closes condition considers 7-digit bug numbers improbable



Package: lintian
Version: 2.111.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The Debian bug tracker is well into 7-digit bug numbers now, so the
‘improbable-bug-number-in-closes’ condition should permit them.

Currently the tag's condition matches all bug numbers 1000000 or
higher:

=====
W: xkcdpass: improbable-bug-number-in-closes 1006311
=====

The maximum bug number should be increased to allow likely bug numbers
for some number of years into the future.

I propose this change:

-----
modified   data/changelog-file/bugs-number
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
-# before 50004 but were removed not archived
+# Before 50004, bugs were removed not archived.
 min-bug = 50004
-# a bug number likely for in future
-max-bug = 1000000
\ No newline at end of file
+# A bug number likely far in the future.
+max-bug = 2000000
