Bug#980560: lintian: unknown-field not meaningfully overridable
Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg@mirbsd.de
The renaming of unknown-field-in-dsc and unknown-field-in-control
to unknown-field makes it not meaningfully overridable. We now get:
W: logind-considered-harmful: unknown-field logind-considered-harmful_73_all.deb Important
This hardcodes the filename of the result, which includes the version
and architecture of the package, which makes it hard to update with
each new upload *and* not Multi-Arch safe.
Please change the output format of this tag to not embed the full
pathname; an indicator of _where_ is enough… which, IMHO, already
is given in the package name (or source name) tag.
I know that I can override it with just…
logind-considered-harmful: unknown-field
… but maybe I *do* want to be warned about others?
