Hi,

The Lintian maintainers are pleased to announce the release of Lintian
version 2.94.0.

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:

  * Don't try and open debian/patches/series if it does not exist.
  * Update CONTRIBUTING.md:
    - Merge data/README into this file.
