Package: lintian Version: 1.23.49 Tags: patch The deprecated-chown-usage check is too dummy and doesn't check for calls to chown with options. Attached is a patch with an improved regex. Example: chown -R root.root debian/tmp chown root.root debian/tmp By the way, this check should also be performed on debian/rules, and not just in maintainer scripts.
