Please investigate the DB->upgrade thing Clint mentioned and forward
that upstream, with a patch if you are able.

Very minimal, it just means dnshistory loads more libraries than it
needs to and therefore uses slightly more RAM than it could. I suggest
ignoring it for now, but sending a patch upstream for them to include
in their VCS and the next release.

I'm not sure if I agree, but please file a bug on lintian if you think
that is the case.

Uploaded, thanks for your contriibution to Debian :)
Please mail this list for future uploads and I will upload if I am able.
It might be a good idea to make a patch that either sets the path in
doc/dnshistory.1 based on the parameters to ./configure or removes the
path from the manual page and send that upstream, so that less
distributions need to patch that file or care about patching it.
