Which version of Lintian should bullseye-backports target?



Hi Alexander,

I've been wanting to backport Calibre for a while now.  Unfortunately,
it's targeting Lintian 2.114.0 which soon will not have migrated for
almost half a year, IIRC the 2.114.0 format overrides are not compatible
with 2.111.0, and certainly not 2.104.0...so what is an acceptable way
to proceed?

I feel like it doesn't make sense, in terms of a good use of developer
time, to maintain a delta between testing and bullseye-backports
exclusively to accommodate Lintian's failure to migrate, and I hope you
will agree.

The overrides are for Lintian Warnings, so the issue is meaningful, I
think ;)

Best,
Nicholas
