since dh_installchangelog skips empty upsteam changelog files, so the pedantic tag should be not shown in that situation.Hello, I've just been hit by this bug.I was running lintian on a package where the upstream changelog is present but empty and I failed to understand how I could fix the problem with the package, until I realized that the lintian complaint was actually a false positive.
Why was it a false positive? Was it because it was the very first upstream release, and as such didn't have any changes any yet? In my experience, empty changelog is a very weak indicator of such situations.
