Bug#651332: lintian: unhelpful message if changes file not present
tag 651332 +unreproducible
thanks
Niels,
Sorry I did try to reporduce this in more isolated condition and
failed. All I can say is that it really happened but that the
circumstances were unnatural. (I was writing a script to generate a
Debian package and one of the tests was is the package lintian clean. I
think something else broke and then the issue happened. ) So altogether
hard to reprodiuce but when it does a real nuisance.
