Bug#563059: lintian: native package detection does not work on initial release
Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.0
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just experienced a spurious lintian warning (watch file missing) on a
newly created local native package with version (0.0.1).
The warning disappears if I add a second revision (0.0.2) to debian/changelog,
so native detection does not work for either (0.0.1) or the initial
release of a native package (exactly one entry in debian/changelog).
(Also happens with lintian 2.2.18 in testing.)
