Bug#891301: lintian: privacy-breach-generic should not complain about <link rel="generator"> and others
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.75
Severity: normal
live-manual-html has many privacy-breach-generic warnings all due to
the presence of <link rel="generator" href="http://www.sisudoc.org/"; />
in the <head> of the files.
This field is merely documentation of what has been used to generate
the file and will not cause any request by the user loading the page.
Please ignore that field in this tag.
Looking at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_link_rel.asp you should
likely ignore a bunch of others too:

Thank you!
