Package: lintian
Version: 2.107.0
Severity: normal
The bgw-replstatus package just changed from native to non-native, and
now I'm getting this, even if I put in a changelog entry about the
change:
W: bgw-replstatus source: odd-historical-debian-changelog-version 1.0.5 (for non-native)
What am I supposed to do with this tag? Edit all the old changelog
entries? Which non-benign case is this tag supposed to catch?
Please don't warn about things that I cannot "fix". The package is
correct now, and was correct in the past.
Christoph
