Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.52
Severity: normal

Hi,

Until tools such as git-buildpackage make producing a source tarball
along with the signatures easier, the "E:" tag for the
orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature tag seems excessive at the moment.

See:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/07/msg00451.html
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/08/msg00072.html

etc. etc.


Regards,
