Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.75
Severity: normal
consider a package whose upstream ships two binaries, ./foo and ./bar
those two binaries are generated from the same source code, perhaps
compiled in different ways (in my silly example, "make foo" and "make
bar" apply different build flags to the same source tree)
a reasonable configuration for the debian repository is:
debian/missing-sources/bar/
debian/missing-sources/bar/Makefile
debian/missing-sources/bar/main.c
debian/missing-sources/foo → bar
However, in this case, lintian will complain with:
package: source-is-missing foo
It doesn't make sense to encourage the package maintainer to ship two
copies of the same source.

Closes: 890468 911864 912040
Changes:
lintian (2.5.111) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added:
- maintainer-script-should-not-use-piuparts-variable
- source-package-encodes-python-version
.
* checks/binaries.pm:
+ [CL] Prevent a false-positive when checking statically-linked-binary
when we do not have access to the source package to check for a
Golang build-dependency by falling-back to checking the package name.
Thanks to Jeffrey Cliff for the report. (Closes: #911864)
* checks/changelog-file.desc:
+ [CL] Clarify the grammatical logic in the long description of the
epoch-change-without-comment tag.
* checks/cruft.pm:
+ [CL] Look for debian/missing-sources/foo for a missing "foo" to
prevent source-is-missing false-positives. Thanks to Daniel Kahn
Gillmor for the report. (Closes: #890468)
* checks/menu-format.desc:
+ [CL] Apply a patch from Salvatore Bonaccorso to fix a typo in the
description for the desktop-entry-lacks-icon-entry tag. (MR: !59)
* checks/python.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Check for packages that encode a version number in their
source package name.
* checks/scripts.desc:
+ [CL] Warn about packages that use PIUPARTS_TEST (etc.) in their
maintainer scripts. Thanks to Holger Levsen. (Closes: #912040)
+ [CL] Add a note that packages might have added the required
dependency for missing-versioned-depends-on-init-system-helpers to
Build-Depends instead of the binary package (eg. in src:lbcd).
.
* data/spelling/corrections:
+ [PW] Add a number of corrections.
+ [CL] Add a "recognise" connection. (re. MR: !59).
.
* data/testsuite/known-restrictions:
+ [CL] Apply a patch from intrigeri to add "superficial" to the list
of known restrictions in testsuite definitions. This was added to
autopkgtest in #904979. (MR: !60)
.
* reporting/templates/tag.tmpl:
+ [CL] Also show the maintainer name on the tag-specific pages such as
<https://lintian.debian.org/tags/ancient-libtool.html>.
