Package: lintian
Version: 1.22.8.1
Severity: normal

Hey there :) Great work on lintian.

I note that in #190897, "E:" means "lintian is sure" and "W:" means
"lintian is not sure". /usr/share/doc/lintian/lintian.txt.gz (sections
2.2 and 2.3) explain quite succinctly that they actually mean "error"
and "warning".

So this particular bug is specifically to correct the documentation.
Having a seperate tag entire for "uncertain" (say, having E:, W:, and
U:) would be nice. #190897 also requests this.

I believe the recent(ish) introduction of the Severity and Certainty
fields and the corresponding --display-level switch address this, so am
closing the bug.

Regards,
