I've taken the following example:

→ cat -n cedar-backup2-2.26.4/debian/tests/control
     1  # Run the unit tests on the library code
     2  Tests: unittest
     3  Restrictions: allow-stderr
     4
     5  # Run some basic tests on command-line functionality for cback
     6  Tests: cback-version cback-help cback-diagnostics
     7  Restrictions: allow-stderr
     8
     9  # Run some basic tests on command-line functionality for cback-span
    10  Tests: cback-span-version cback-span-help cback-span-diagnostics
    11  Restrictions: allow-stderr
    12
    13  # Run some basic tests on command-line functionality for cback-amazons3-sync
    14  Tests: cback-amazons3-sync-version cback-amazons3-sync-help cback-amazons3-sync-diagnostics
    15  Restrictions: allow-stderr
    16
    17  # Run a simple backup and make sure it succeeds
    18  Tests: simplebackup
    19  Depends: @, awk, diffutils, tar
    20  Restrictions: allow-stderr, needs-root
    21

Lintian reports:

P: cedar-backup2 source: unknown-runtime-tests-restriction allow-stderr, paragraph starting at line 18

But allow-stderr is in all Restrictions, not only in the one in line
18. So it seems the comma after "allow-stderr" which seems to confuse
lintian (as it also emits the comma in the warning).

Will try to find a fix.

Thanks for the report!
