Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.28
Severity: minor
/usr/share/lintian/checks/rules.desc contains the handy
debian-rules-missing-required-target, but references the wrong debian
policy section.
It refers to section 4.8, but i think the appropriate section is 4.9,
as seen here:
/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch-source.html#s-debianrules
Thanks for lintian. It's a very useful tool.

Changes:
lintian (1.23.29) unstable; urgency=low
.
The "look at all the stuff that accumulated during the etch freeze"
release.
.
* COPYING:
+ [CW] Update to current text of GPL v2 (which talks about the GNU
Lesser General Public License rather than Library, etc.; no functional
changes).
.
* checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Check for bug closers without a colon after closes, but only if
there are at least six digits in the bug number and no non-digits.
Suggestion from Jari Aalto. (Closes: #373918)
* checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
+ [JA] Update usr-doc-* test to report user-share-doc-* instead.
New tests added: postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link,
doc-base-file-references-usr-doc.
Patch from Thijs Kinkhorst. (Closes: #406349).
* checks/common_data.pm:
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections.
+ [JA] Support the Autobuild: and Vcs-* fields in .dsc files.
Applied patch to implement this by Ian Beckwith. (Closes: #403553).
* checks/control-file:
+ [RA] Allow source in main to generate contrib packages. Thanks,
Bdale Garbee. (Closes: #401881)
* checks/cruft{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Use Dep to check autotools-dev build dependency rather than
rolling our own dependency parsing, thus avoiding problems when it's
the first dependency. Thanks, Tilman Koschnick. (Closes: #412406)
+ [RA] Mention that including CVS or .svn directories in a release
tarball should generally be reported as an upstream bug. Qualify
the statement that export should be used instead of checkout to
refer to snapshot packaging. Thanks, Jari Aalto. (Closes: #373668)
+ [RA] Allow a build dependency on automake to satisfy the
autotools-dev requirement since users may use autoreconf to update
config.{sub,guess}. Thanks, Jordà Polo. (Closes: #417067)
* checks/debconf:
+ [RA] Rather than munging dependencies to cope with the various
implementations of debconf, take advantage of our new dependency
comparison routines and check the full correct dependency. This
should really fix problems with checking the dependencies for
settitle. Patch from Damyan Ivanov. (Closes: #349616)
+ [RA] Check that an appropriate versioned dependency on debconf
and/or cdebconf is present if error template types are used.
Thanks, Christian Perrier. (Closes: #416140)
* checks/debhelper.desc:
+ [RA] Use consistent file naming when diagnosing possibly conflicting
debhelper compat settings. Thanks, Jari Aalto. (Closes: #409122)
* checks/fields{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Add an exception to maintainer-not-full-name for Wookey and a
comment to consider removing the check if we get more false
positives. Thanks, Neil Williams. (Closes: #406731)
+ [RA] Rename build-depends-indep-should-be-build-depends to
clean-should-be-satisfied-by-build-depends to make the reason for
the message clearer without running lintian -i. Thanks to Osamu
Aoki for the suggestion. (Closes: #405840)
+ [RA] Recognize the +bX convention for binary NMUs. Warn about use
of the old three-part version numbers.
* checks/files{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Diagnose creation of subdirectories of /usr/bin other than mh
and the legacy X11 directory. (Closes: #417912)
* checks/manpages:
+ [RA] When checking for hyphen used as a minus sign, avoid false
positives on \s-1 (small font) and \*(-- (pod2man long dash).
+ [RA] Display the full path for binary-without-manpage tags to make
it easier to track down problems.
+ [RA] Ignore binaries in subdirectories of the normal binary
directories (other than /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/bin/mh). These should
be caught by other checks and the man page warnings would likely be
confusing noise.
* checks/menu-format{.desc,}:
+ [RA] If a menu icon isn't an absolute path, only look for it in
/usr/share/pixmaps, not in the old X11R6 paths. Update the long tag
description accordingly.
* checks/menus:
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections. Removed extra empty newlines.
* checks/lintian.desc:
+ [RA] List emergency as a valid urgency.
* checks/nmu{.desc,}:
+ [RA] List the exact phrases recognized by lintian as marking an NMU.
Reported by Jari Aalto. (Closes: #409108)
+ [RA] Recognize the +bX convention for binary NMUs.
* checks/po-debconf:
+ [RA] Now that we're passing --use-untranslated to msgcmp, we have to
compare the generated pot file with the one in the package both
directions to catch all out of date errors. Thanks, Thomas
Huriaux. (Closes: #402662)
* checks/rules{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Fix the policy section for debian-rules-missing-required-target
and debian-rules-not-a-makefile. Thanks, Daniel Kahn Gillmor.
(Closes: #414964)
+ [RA] Warn about use of $(PWD) instead of $(CURDIR).
+ [RA] Setting DH_COMPAT globally in debian/rules is now deprecated in
favor of debian/compat. Patch from Luk Claes. (Closes: #330025)
* checks/scripts{.desc,}:
+ [RA] update-inetd is now its own package and netbase may not always
depend on it. Update the check to require a dependency on
update-inetd, inet-superserver, or one of the inet-superserver
packages that provides update-inetd. Reported by Tatsuya Kinoshita.
(Closes: #402319)
+ [RA] Mention SUSv3 in the bashism and non-posix tag descriptions,
note that use of test -a/-o and local aren't bugs but may still be
worth avoiding, and mention short circuiting of && and ||. (Thanks
to Jari Aalto for the latter).
+ [RA] Add /usr/bin/gbr2, provided by gambas2-runtime. Thanks, José
"L. Redrejo" RodrÃguez. (Closes: #403515)
+ [RA] Add /usr/bin/jruby0.9, provided by jruby0.9. Thanks, Sebastien
Delafond. (Closes: #418105)
.
* doc/README:
+ Document --color option. Based on a patch from Loïc Minier.
.
* depcheck/deppages.pl:
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections.
* depcheck/report2html.pl:
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections.
.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [JA] Removed trailing spaces and other perl syntax corrections.
+ [RA] Add --color option to optionally colorize lintian tags based on
their severity. Based on a patch from Loïc Minier.
+ [RA] Accept emergency as a valid urgency and check urgencies
case-insensitively since that's what Policy specifies. Thanks, Joey
Hess. (Closes: #412577)
* frontend/lintian-info:
+ [RA] Ignore ANSI color sequences when parsing lintian tags.
.
* lib/Checker.pm
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections.
* lib/Lab.pm
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections.
* lib/Tags.pm
+ [JA] Perl syntax corrections.
+ [RA] Support for colorizing lintian tags based on their severity.
Based on a patch from Loïc Minier. (Closes: #399714)
.

+ [RA] Document --color. Based on a patch from Loïc Minier.
.
* unpack/unpack-*pkg*
