Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2
Severity: normal

The debian-copyright-line-too-long complains about too long lines, even
if there's no chance to make the line shorter, as you can't break the
word. For example 
       http://foo/bar/fuzz/foo/bar/fuzz/foo/bar/fuzz/foo/bar/fuzz/foo/bar/fuzz/foo/bar/fuzz/boo.html
is not possible to write in a different way.
So imho the check should be changed to complain only about lines which
consist of more than one word. Only lines matching something like
(^ *[^ ]+ +[^ ]*) should be checked for their length. The regexp should
be enhanced to match all white spaces probably...

Thanks,

Bernd

Changes: 
 lintian (1.24.2.1) testing; urgency=high
 .
   The "for the sake of lenny users" release.
 .
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [ADB] Drop the "copyright line too long" check.  Most of the issues
       it flags aren't easily fixable, particularly where the copyright file
       is (semi)automatically generated.  (Closes: #491302, #491365, #491685)
 .
   * debian/postrm:
     + [FL] Do not try to remove /var/spool/lintian if it doesn't exist
       (dpkg might already removed it at this point).
