Source: lintian
Version: 2.9.1
Hi,
I'm not sure what happened, but the backports master decided to grant an
exception to lintian so the version in stretch-bpo is higher than the
version in buster. I don't really buy their reasoning, but even so, I'd
appreciate if you lintian maintainers could properly file unblock
requests and get the version in buster updated as well.
I know that most of your changes don't respect the freeze policy, but
given that on February the release team granted an exception, maybe they
will again.
My position here comes mainly as a mentors.debian.net maintainer, where
we are now running buster, and apparently we now have a 3-months old
lintian due to this, whereas stretch-bpo would have been more updated…
Also, regardless of whatever the backports master grant, please do try
to end up with a proper upgrade path from stretch-bpo to the final
buster.
