Package: lintian
Severity: normal

I found under
https://lintian.debian.org/full/debian-boot@lists.debian.org.html#installation-guide_20180923
that lintian says "debian source format file is missing" for the
installation-guide package, while the file is there indeed!
And it contains

ned@t520:~/deb_holgerw/debian-installer/trunk/installation-guide$ cat debian/source/format 
3.0 (native)

So there is apparently a chance to gain false possitives here :-)
