Bug#930700: Re: Bug#930700: lintian: support "suppress-tags-from-file" in configuration file
Dear Dmitry,

Neat. So, I think there are three categories here.
Firstly, tags that you feel are too high priority are likely worth
discussing in terms of adjusting that severity level. (I'm not sure
what the best venue for that topic is but I dont think it's *this*
particular bug, alas.)
In other words, did you consider requesting adjusting the priority
some of the tags you perceive as "low priority" with respect to your
time? Or perhaps even for you to adjust which minimum severity level
that you run Lintian at?
Secondly, ones that you -- how shall I put it? -- "don't care about"
are probably outside the scope of changing, unless you feel they are
overblown severity-wise, in which case see the preceding paragraphs.
Lastly, there are ones with too many false-positives. These seem the
easy ones to address actually -- if you have a concrete example of
false-positives, please file away.
Regards,
