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



* Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>, 2015-08-31, 07:39:
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.

I am afraid it is very plausible. Between May 18th 2013 and Sep 21. 2013 we had instances of this tag on lintian.d.o.

OK, I stand corrected.

Where did you get this information? https://lintian.debian.org/tags/dir-or-file-in-build-tree.html says that tag has not been emitted.

I'm still curious to know how could it happen.
