Changes:
 lintian (2.2.18) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "synchronize severities with ftpmaster's Lintian checks" release.
 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Removed:
       - copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
     + Promoted from experimental:
       - spelling-error-in-binary
       - template-uses-unsplit-choices
 .
   * checks/binaries.desc:
     + [RA] Remove experimental marker on spelling-error-in-binary.  Change
       severity to minor; spelling errors are minor bugs.
     + [RA] library-in-debug-or-profile-should-not-be-stripped,
       binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath, arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share, and
       binary-in-etc, binary-file-compressed-with-upx,
       binary-with-bad-dynamic-table, and embedded-zlib are now
       serious since they can result in ftpmaster rejects.  embedded-zlib,
       missing-dependency-on-libc, and binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath are
       possible rather than certain since overrides are allowed.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [FL] Avoid various Perl warnings which can be caused by
       completly broken changelog files.
   * checks/conffiles.desc:
     + [RA] file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile is serious (ftpmaster reject).
       Add a Policy reference and improve the description.
     + [RA] non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile is serious/possible rather than
       important/certain (ftpmaster reject unless overridden).
   * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Say to use (= ${binary:Version}) to fix weak dependencies
       between a library dev package and the shared library.  Thanks,
       Norbert Preining.  (Closes: #548218)
     + [ADB] Fix an uninitialised value warning when processing a
       -dev package which has no Depends: fields.  Thanks, Lucas
       Nussbaum.
     + [RA] build-info-in-binary-control-file-section and
       debian-control-with-duplicate-fields are now serious (ftpmaster
       reject).
     + [RA] Allow -dev dependencies based on source:Upstream-Version or
       source:Version if the -dev package is architecture: all.  Thanks,
       Mike Hommey.  (Closes: #552729)
   * checks/control-files.desc:
     + [RA] not-allowed-control-file, control-file-has-bad-permissions, and
       control-file-has-bad-owner are now serious (ftpmaster reject).
       Mention that the config control file should also be executable.
   * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
     + [FL] Add special exception to no-copyright-file for perl.
       See #522827 for discussion.  (Closes: #553262)
     + [FL] Extend match for exceptions to copyright-refers-to-symlink-license
       to catch more ways to specify Perl's license.  Patch from
       Salvatore Bonaccorso.  (Closes: #549596)
     + [RA] copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
       removed, as some package maintainers prefer to use Author(s) and
       have filled out the copyright file.  (Closes: #553469)
     + [RA] Add additional dh_make template strings to the
       helper-templates-in-copyright check, including the templates for
       upstream author or copyright holder, which effectively replaces
       copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate with far
       fewer false positives.
     + [RA] Remove a duplication of the check for "This copyright info was
       automatically extracted from the perl module" by dh-make-perl, and
       ensure that this is copyright-contains-dh-make-perl-boilerplate and
       not helper-templates-in-copyright, since it is lower severity.
     + [RA] copyright-refers-to-old-directory, old-style-copyright-file,
       usr-share-doc-symlink-without-dependency,
       usr-share-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package,
       copyright-refers-to-incorrect-directory, and
       copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate are now serious
       (ftpmaster reject).  copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate is
       possible (overrides allowed).  Significantly improve the description
       of usr-share-doc-symlink-without-dependency to mention that Lintian
       doesn't look at transitive dependencies, and change to possible.
   * checks/cruft:
     + [FL] Add automake1.11 to list of autotools packages.  Thanks,
       Laurent Bigonville.  (Closes: #551051)
     + [RA] Allow CMakeCache.txt files in the debian directory.  Thanks,
       Aaron M. Ucko.  (Closes: #553264)
   * checks/debconf.desc:
     + [FL] Remove experimental flag from template-uses-unsplit-choices.
       This was only done to not disrupt the lenny freeze.  Thanks,
       Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #553487)
   * checks/description.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade description-synopsis-might-not-be-phrased-properly to
       minor and fix the cross-reference to point to devref, not Policy.
     + [RA] description-is-dh_make-template is serious (ftpmaster reject).
   * checks/etcfiles.desc:
     + [RA] file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile is serious (ftpmaster
       reject).
   * checks/fields{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Fix lib-recommends-documentation tag to correctly exclude dev
       and doc packages.  Patch from Stéphane Glondu.  (Closes: #548210)
     + [FL] Allow source formats 3.0 (quilt) and 3.0 (native).
       (Closes: #552707)
     + [RA] Multiple maintainer-* and uploader-* tags for syntax errors or
       localhost addresses are now serious (ftpmaster reject), as are
       section-is-dh_make-template and bad-relation.
   * checks/files.desc:
     + [RA] Add a note to wrong-file-owner-uid-or-gid that it's possible to
       construct a Policy-compliant package that triggers this tag by
       creating users in preinst, and asking package maintainers to file a
       bug against Lintian if they encounter a case where this appears to
       be necessary.
     + [RA] package-contains-ancient-file, package-installs-python-pyc
       symlink-has-too-many-up-segments, and package-contains-info-dir-file
       are now serious (ftpmaster reject).
     + [RA] dir-or-file-in-var-www is now serious/possible (ftpmaster
       reject unless overridden).
     + [RA] dir-or-file-in-{tmp,mnt,opt,srv} are now serious and have the
       proper File Hierarchy Standard cross-references and descriptions.
     + [RA] Don't suggest creating a symlink to the python-feedparser
       library.  Just use the normal Python import mechanism.  Thanks,
       Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #555617)
   * checks/lintian.desc:
     + [CW] Add lucid as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
       gutsy.
   * checks/manpages.desc:
     + [ADB] Mention in the description for manpage-has-errors-from-man
       that Lintian passes "-E UTF-8" to man when running checks.  Thanks,
       Raphaël Hertzog. (Closes: #555320)
     + [RA] Also suppress failures to break lines if the reported line is
       a .UE macro, which marks the end of a block defining a URL.  Thanks,
       Martin Stigge.
   * checks/patch-systems:
     + [RA] Do not issue patch-system-but-no-source-readme for packages in
       3.0 (quilt) format.  Patch from Stéphane Glondu.  (Closes: #553207)
     + [RA] Don't consider the "index <sha1>..<sha1>" line added by git
       diff to be a patch description.  (Closes: #553697)
     + [RA] If a diff outside of the patch system only creates new files
       that can be copied into place by the package build rules, suggest
       just putting them in the debian directory rather than using a patch
       system.  Thanks, Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #550924)
   * checks/rules.desc:
     + [RA] missing-build-dependency is now serious/possible (ftpmaster
       reject unless overridden).
   * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Add some more details to executable-not-elf-or-script about
       possible causes and how to correct them.
     + [RA] Suggest mkfifo in mknod-in-maintainer-script if the script was
       creating a named pipe.
     + [RA] Add rep.  Thanks, Rodrigo Gallardo.  (Closes: #510954)
     + [RA] Add r.  Thanks, Dirk Eddelbuettel.  (Closes: #555278)
     + [RA] Add rackup.  Thanks, Sebastien Delafond.  (Closes: #552013)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [FL] Add /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages to exception list for
       incorrect-libdir-in-la-file.  Thanks, Mathieu Trudel.
       (Closes: #551134)
 .
   * data/changelog-file/ubuntu-dists:
     + [CW] Add lucid as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
       gutsy.
   * data/doc-base/sections:
     + [FL] Update from doc-base 0.9.5. Adds Typesetting section.
       Thanks Julian Gilbey.  (Closes: #552526)
   * data/fields/architectures:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/perl-provides:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/fields/virtual-packages:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
   * data/files/fonts:
     + [ADB] Refresh against unstable.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Add additional explanation of experimental tags.  Remove the
       comment that pedantic tags are frequently wrong; that's not what
       they're for.  Improve the explanation for -i to not imply that
       everything Lintian finds is a Policy violation.
 .
   * private/refresh-perl-provides:
     + [ADB] Special-case libio-compress-perl; the package contains the
       modules which used to be in libio-compress-* but does not contain
       IO::Compress.  Patch from Niko Tyni.  (Closes: #554393)
