Package: lintian Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3 Severity: normal Hello I noticed that debian-source-dir tests are skipped if the debian/source directory is completely missing. This result in the tag "missing-debian-source-format" not being emitted, which is contrary to tag description saying "d/s/format is recommended", and not "d/s/format is recommended *if you have d/source*. This is cause by this line at the begining of checks/debian-source-dir.pm: > return if not $dsrc; I expected lintian to emit tag missing-debian-source-format before aborting other d/source checks.
