Citing the Reject FAQ: Lintian errors and warnings, without a good reason to ignore them, can get you a reject. Sometimes there are valid reasons, but then you should either file a bug against lintian if it's generally wrong, or include an override in your package, giving a reason in the changelog for it. I have seen it (and I would doubt our FTP masters if they accept packages with lintian errors TBH). I filed a bug because I believe the severity is wrong. https://bugs.debian.org/743649#13 Regards, Daniel -- Regards, Daniel Leidert <dleidert@debian.org> | https://www.wgdd.de/ GPG-Key RSA4096 / BEED4DED5544A4C03E283DC74BCD0567C296D05D GPG-Key ED25519 / BD3C132D8B3805D1808123AB7ACE00941E338C78 https://www.fiverr.com/dleidert https://www.patreon.com/join/dleidert
