Bug#885432: bugs-field-does-not-refer-to-debian-infrastructure for non-Debian packages
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.66
Severity: normal
The new tag bugs-field-does-not-refer-to-debian-infrastructure added in
the most recent version of Lintian is a false positive for non-Debian
packages. I have a pile of personal packages that I maintain in a separate
archive, but prefer to use all the normal Debian packaging methods and
tools. This tag will always be a false positive for those packages since
they have:
Bugs: mailto:rra@debian.org
I could add an override to every personal package, but that's a little
annoying to do.
Is there some way that I could tell Lintian that this is a non-Debian
package to suppress this tag? That might be a useful general feature to
suppress a few other tags too, such as new-package-should-close-itp-bug.
