Bug#795935: [checks/changelog-file] warn against unabbreviated month/day-of-the-week names



Control: retitle -1 [checks/changelog-file] please check for unabbreviated month/day-of-the-week names
Control: severity -1 normal

Hi Norbert!

When reassigning a bug, please always Cc maintainers of the other package. Otherwise all they get is a message from the bug control bot, which is not very helpful.

It seems that spelled out (i.e., non-abbreviated) month names are not anymore accepted.

Lintian uses the Parse::DebianChangelog module, which accepts unabbreviated day of the week and month names, even though they are not permitted in Policy (§4.4).

So maybe this should be fixed in libparse-debianchangelog-perl.
