Package: lintian Version: 2.5.51 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello Lintian maintainers, Please consider merging branch `elpa` of my repository.[1] It passes the Lintian test suite on my machine. This adds a new tag, emacsen-common-without-dh-elpa. It is a buster release goal of the pkg-emacsen team to eliminate Emacs addons not using dh-elpa, except those intended for use with XEmacs (a minority), and this tag will assist greatly in finding those packages, and preventing new ones from being uploaded. To help justify the 'W' severity, I would like to note that packages for which Lintian would emit this tag are basically the reason why emacs25 is not the default Emacs in stretch. Further, there was at least one other RC bug during the freeze due to buggy emacsen-common maintscripts. dh-elpa lets us have just one source package with a copy of those maintscripts (dh-elpa itself), using declarative packaging in the source package for each addon (debian/*.elpa). Thanks.
