Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The machine-readable copyright format includes a Format-Specification
header line that, for the present, usually points at the Wiki page for
the proposal.  However, most people (including me) reference a specific
version of the Wiki proposal page by using a URL like:
http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat?recall=184

This, combined with the "Format-Specification: " in front, is virtually
guaranteed to make lintian warn about a "copyright line too long" :)

Attached is a patch that matches the lines read from the copyright file
against the "Format-Specification: proposal-url" pattern and excludes
any lines that start like this.

   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).
