I just saw Adam's last commit on #debian-qa ...
16:09 <CIA-6> lintian: adam * r42e0f31 lintian/ (debian/changelog lib/Util.pm): (log message trimmed)
16:09 <CIA-6> lintian: Use "local $_" in parse_dpkg_control to avoid stamping on the global version.
16:09 <CIA-6> lintian: Lintian::Tag::Info::_load_tag_data (called from ::New) in turn calls
16:09 <CIA-6> lintian: read_dpkg_control (and therefore parse_dpkg_control) which stamped on $_.
16:09 <CIA-6> lintian: As we now call Lintian::Tag::Info::new when outputting extended tag
16:09 <CIA-6> lintian: information using -i, doing so trampled on $_ in the current check script.
... which sounds either related or at least similar :)
Cheers,
gregor
