I think inventing new terminology that is not used anywhere else just adds confusion. I agree that terminology can be confusing but this can be fixed by either * adding better documentation for the existing terminology, for example to wiki pages, Debian policy or the upcoming Multiarch Specification shipped by dpkg [1] or by * changing the terminology such that all the involved tools use the same terminology I don't think just Lintian starting to use new terminology that is not used by dpkg, apt or the wiki pages is helpful at all. Quite the opposite. I think this just makes the status quo worse. Thanks! cheers, josch [1] https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/tree/doc/multiarch.txt?h=pu/doc-multiarch-spec
