.
* checks/*:
+ [NT] Dropped fields from Needs-Info, it is no longer needed.
+ [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules
LANG. (Closes: #637595)
+ [JW] Removed all whitespace lines to avoid confusing some
dctrl parsers (notably grep-dctrl). (Closes: #639928)
+ [JW] Fix a number of broken references in the tag
descriptions. (Closes: #639923)
+ [JW] Rewrote Debian Bug references using #nnnnnn notation.
* checks/binaries.desc:
+ [NT] Remove the reference to the Library Packaging Guide,
since it is no longer available (in Debian). (Closes: #640228)
* checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
+ [JW] Remove debmake-specific tag in favour of more general
debian-changelog-file-contains-invalid-email-address.
(Closes: #639946)
+ [JW,NT] Fixed use of uninitialized value as hash key.
(Closes: #640238)
+ [NT] Mention that the missing native changelog tag can, in
some cases, be emitted if it does not look like a Debian
changelog.
* checks/{conffile,etcfiles}{,.desc}:
+ [JW] Merged etcfiles into conffile. (Closes: #637590)
* checks/conffile:
+ [NT] Skip all checks if "conffiles" is a symlink.
* checks/control-files{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Check that all members of the control.tar.gz are either
regular files or directories.
* checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+ [JW] Check for CRLF line endings in copyright files.
(Closes: #634191)
+ [JW] Extended helper-templates-in-copyright and ensure it is
only emitted once per package.
* checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Recognise /usr/share/R/debian/r-cran.mk as a cdbs-based
build. This prevents false-positive "unneeded cdbs" warning.
+ [JW] Check for use of the obsolete dh_installmanpages debhelper
program. Thanks to Joey Hess for the report. (Closes: #634112).
* checks/debian-readme{,.desc}:
+ [JW] Replace debmake-specific tag with more general
readme-debian-contains-invalid-email-address.
* checks/description.desc:
+ [JW] Added references to some tags. (Closes: #640853)
* checks/duplicate-files{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Replace the exception for "__init__.py" files by excluding
all empty files from the check. The bug (#632789) only requests
an exception for "empty __init__.py" files and generally empty
files are unlikely to cause a serious size-waste.
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Mention that perl modules included in perl itself should
be the first dependency if it is only included in the perl
from experimental. Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
report and the patch. (Closes: #637793)
+ [NT] Warn about (build)depending/recommending on packaging-dev.
Thanks to Luk Claes for the report and the initial patch.
(Closes: #629308)
+ [NT] Also emit bad-homepage if the Homepage URL does not seem to
be using a known protocol (for homepages). (Closes: #580427)
+ [JW] Bumped the severity of "no-human-maintainers", since it is
now a Policy "must" directive. (Closes: #640856)
+ [JW,NT] If superfluous-clutter-in-homepage has been emitted,
ignore the surrounding "<>" for the rest of the homepage checks.
(Closes: #640947)
+ [NT] Added check for Build-Depending on libdbX.Y-dev (and related
packages. Most packages should be able to use unversioned -dev
packages. Thanks to Ondřej Surý for the report and the initial
tag description. (Closes: #624434)
* checks/{filename-length,rules}.desc:
+ [NT] Improved the descriptions of some tags. (Closes: #639018)
* checks/files{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Added exceptions to "extra-license-file" for manpages,
static libraries, .pc-, elf and pyshared-data-files. This
covers all the false-positives currently found in the liblicense
package. (Closes: #617901)
+ [NT] Ignore non-ELF files in multiarch paths, when checking for
a missing pre-depends on multiarch-support. Thanks to Sven
Joachim for the report. (Closes: #639735)
+ [NT] Added check for packages that only ships files in /usr/share
and are not marked "Architecture: all". Thanks to Evgeni Golov,
Carl Fürstenberg and Jari Aalto for the suggestions.

+ [JW] Do not emit third-party-package-in-python-dir for packages built
from python{,3}-{stdlib-extensions,profiler,old-doctools} sources.
Add reference to Python Policy in the tag description.
(Closes: #640211)
+ [JW] Add check for Vim addons installing files into a directory
within Vim runtime path. (Closes: #640371)
+ [NT] Added check for Perl modules using perl4 libs without depending
on libperl4-core-libs-perl. Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
initial patch.
* checks/menus.desc:
+ [NT] Added reference to the doc-base manual to help people
find the list of valid doc-base sections. (Closes: #584280)
* checks/patch-systems:
+ [NT] Use lsdiff to determine if a patch modifies the debian dir as
it is more accurate than diffstat for this. (Closes: #640131)
* checks/rules:
+ [NT] Do a simple and minimal variable tracking. In very simple
cases, it can determine which targets a variable contains (when
the variable is used as a target). (Closes: #638411)
* checks/scripts{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Remove script-calls-init-script-directly. (Closes: #617959)

on libperl4-core-libs-perl. Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the
initial patch. (Closes: #636994)

the report and the research. (Closes: #639144)
.
* collection/fields{,.desc}:
+ [NT] Removed, no longer used.
* collection/changelog-file:
+ [NT] Double check changelogs that does not explicitly contains
"debian" in the filename. This should avoid a myriad of syntax
error tags in some cases (such as perl), where the Debian
changelog is not present and there is an upstream changelog.
.
* data/fields/archive-sections:
+ [NT] Fixed a typo in "otherosfs" section name. Thanks to
Stefan Potyra for the report. (Closes: #637596)

of Lintian.

This happens if a package contains an override for a tag

profile.

file" error. Thanks to Michael Gilbert for the report and
the patch. (Closes: #639430)

passed.
+ [JW,NT] Fixed a regression where --check-part ignored display
settings (such as --display-info). (Closes: #640694)
+ [NT] If both --verbose and --quiet is used together, then use
the last of them to appear rather than "both at the same time".
(Closes: #640366)

with --verbose or --debug.

the config file. Only one of "verbose" and "quiet" may
