Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.45
Severity: normal

In trying to simplify the APT build system, I changed the library package
libapt-pkg5.0 and libapt-inst2.0 to provide a versionless-name:

  Package: libapt-pkg5.0
  Provides: libapt-pkg (= ${binary:Version})

So I can depend on it like this:

  Package: libapt-pkg-dev
  Depends: libapt-pkg (= ${binary:Version})

This however leads to a version-substvar-for-external-package error
from lintian, as it does not understand that the package name is a
versioned provides.

We previously had a substvar that ${libapt-pkg-name}, but I wanted
to get rid of substvars as far as possible, as that involves non-declarative
stuff in rules.

Changes:

   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - doc-base-file-references-wrong-path
       - systemd-service-file-shutdown-problems
 .
   [ Chris Lamb ]
   * Make the argument to --jobs non-optional to prevent a "0" job count
     being parsed if the argument is omitted. This resulted in Lintian
     getting stuck as it did not have any runners to perform work with.
     (Closes: #925970)
   * Fix false-positives in the version-substvar-for-external-package tag
     when a Provides field contains multiple items and/or with leading
     whitespace. (Closes: #833608)
   * Don't check for the x86-specific "SafeSEH" hardening feature for code
     that is JIT-compiled by the Mono runtime. (Closes: #926334)
   * Collapse the rather long-winded explanation regarding typos in the long
     description of the version-substvar-for-external-package tag.
   * Drop double-spaces in .desc files.
 .
   [ Felix Lechner ]
   * Allow symlinks in autopkgtest paths.
 .
   [ Niels Thykier ]
   * Restrict the number of parallel clean up jobs to match --jobs
     parameter. (Closes: #924714)
 .
   [ Osamu Aoki ]
   * Check for files in doc-base control files that list paths pointing
     outside of /usr/share/{doc,info}. (Closes: #925200)
 .
   [ Xavier Guimard ]
   * Don't emit the debian-watch-file-should-mangle-version tag if
     dversionmangle is set to "auto". (Closes: #926166)
 .
   [ Topi Miettinen ]
   * Check for systemd service files that use DefaultDependencies=no and
     Conflicts=shutdown.target without Before=shutdown.target. (MR: !177)
   * Update the systemd hardening flags. (MR: !178)
 .
   [ Balint Reczey ]
   * Run autopkgtest tests in parallel, autodetecting CPU count. (MR: !75)
 .
   [ Paul Wise ]
   * Add/fix several spelling corrections.
