Bug#797466: lintian: Correct grammar of dir-or-file-in-build-tree long description



Hi Chris!

-Info: Your package install file in our build tree.
+Info: Your package installed a file in our build tree.

That's an improvement, but I still don't understand what it's trying to tell me. I mean, whose build tree?!

I would have no idea what this tag is about if I didn't look at the code. It triggers when the package include files in /var/cache/pbuilder/build/ or /var/lib/sbuild/ or /var/lib/buildd/.

But... how could it even happen that you ship stuff in any of these directories by accident? This doesn't seem plausible to me.
