Bug#523408: lintian says "file: unrecognized option `--lzma'" with 3.0 format.
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.9
Severity: normal
When running lintian on a binary built from a 3.0 (quilt) source
package, with both the .orig.tar.lzma and .debian.tar.lzma being
compressed with lzma (not gzip), I got the error
file: unrecognized option `--lzma'
printed early on in the output. The full output is:
