lintian 2.88.0 released

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

Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
version 2.88.0.

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:

  [ Felix Lechner ]
  * For DEP-5 copyrights, disregard the debian/ folder in upstream sources.
    (Closes: #967226)
  * In the files/compressed/lz check, do not stat(2) lzip command for every
    file in the index.
  * Move executables from ./frontend to ./bin and set indirect links from
    /usr/bin. Also move our test executables from t/bin to ./bin.
  * Install the Lintian library modules to /usr/share/lintian/lib.
  * Use Perl's FindBin to reliably detect the base directory for Lintian.
  * Stop installing Test modules in Perl system path.
  * Split lintian, lintian-info and spellintian into three independent
    scripts.

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