Bug#934100: /usr/share/lintian/checks/pkg-perl/vcs.desc of pkg-perl-tools breaks lintian if LINTIAN_PROFILE=pkg-perl is set in .lintianrc
Package: pkg-perl-tools,lintian
Version: lintian/2.17.0
Severity: important
File: /usr/share/lintian/checks/pkg-perl/vcs.desc
Since recently, probably since lintian 2.17.0, lintian bails out as
follows for me:
/usr/share/lintian/checks/pkg-perl/vcs.desc does not have exactly one paragraph

dplint::main() called at /usr/bin/lintian line 362
The first line is probably the relevant one:
/usr/share/lintian/checks/pkg-perl/vcs.desc does not have exactly one paragraph
And indeed, if I remove or comment out the line
LINTIAN_PROFILE=pkg-perl
from my .lintianrc, the issue is gone, but so are
debian-perl-team-specific tests.
I suspect this is related to this change in 2.17.0:
* Store tags is separate, small files under ./tags.
But if so, I'm not sure if breaking lintian profiles was really planned,
so I'm filing this against both, lintian and pkg-perl-tools and
X-Debbugs-Cc'ing Felix Lechner.
