Bug#917964: lintian: Allow comments in debian/tests/control file
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.118
Severity: normal
Please, allow comments in debian/tests/control, as defined in the
autopkgtest documentation (end of section "Overview"):
https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/blob/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst
For instance, the octave-io package has the following
debian/tests/control file:
Tests: xls-default, xls-jxl, xls-poi, xlsx-default, xlsx-oct, xlsx-poi, ods-default, ods-jod, ods-oct, gnumeric-default
Depends: octave-io, default-jre-headless, libjexcelapi-java, libapache-poi-java, unzip, libjopendocument-java
Restrictions: allow-stderr # Needed for xlsx-default and xlsx-poi since move to Java 9, as of 2018-04-03
Lintian produces the following false positive warnings:
