["Chris Lamb" <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
2.76.0.

Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
policy as well as some checks for common errors.

This version includes the following changes:

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - depends-on-misc-pre-depends

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Check for packages that include ${misc:Pre-Depends) in the Depends
    field. (Closes: #961290)

  [ Raul Benencia ]
  * Fix "em" dashes in Lintian manual.

  [ Paul Wise ]
  * Add several spelling corrections.
  * Capitalise "Verilog" spelling correction.

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * In the CI pipelines, request more detailed output when installing build
    prerequisites.
  * Ignore unknown tags when generating profiles and disconnect the "main"
    profile from "ftp-master-auto-reject"

  [ Simon Quigley ]
  * Allow for non-Debian profiles to specify the location of Debian VCSes.


This version available now in Debian unstable and will be backported
to buster-backports once it has migrated to bullseye.
