Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: wishlist

Dear lintian maintainers,

many packages in the section gnu-r are built with the r-dev helper, which
installs upstream's changelog under its original file name, NEWS.  How about
suppressing the tag no-upstream-changelog if a NEWS file is present ?

Have a nice week-end,
