Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.10
Severity: minor

Hi,

several packages split the Vcs-* fields on two lines to avoid long
lines.  Lintian should not complain in this case.

See [1] for examples: most of the packages with "\n" in the Vcs-* fields
are false positives.

Regards,
Ansgar

Hi

Forgot the Closes on this in 2.5.4:

  * checks/fields{,.desc}:
    [...]
    + [NT] Newlines from URIs in Vcs-* fields are stripped before they
      are checked.  These will fields will also cause a "multiline-
      field" tag if they contain newlines.
