Package: lintian
Version 2.5.26

Dear Maintainer,

When doing a Team Upload, the name in the debian/changelog entry does
not necessarily match a name listed in the Uploaders or Maintainer field
of debian/control.

Unfortunately, both the "changelog-should-mention-nmu", and the
source-"nmu-has-incorrect-version-number" warnings are emitted in this case.

Perhaps lintian should check that there is no "Team upload" entry in the
changelog before emitting the warning?

Regards,

Ross
