Thanks a lot for your contribution! Had to look into the bug report to
see that this actually was my own feature request from many years ago.
:-)
Unfortunately the code for the lintian.debian.org website has been
rewritten completely since then (by a Lintian maintainer after Niels
who replied back then) and the current website doesn't seem to sport
these SVGs anymore. At least I couldn't find them.
Additionally generating the website broke under the previous
generation of Lintian maintainers and nobody of the current generation
(including myself) knows how it works or how to even access it.
Fixing the lintian.debian.org website is on our TODO list, but only
with lower priority for after the Bookworm release (or at only after
it is frozen enough so that we can focus on other things).
It's also not high priority because we have
https://udd.debian.org/lintian/ as slower (because non-static)
replacement for the most pressing up-to-date statistics about lintian
tags and packages.
Because of all that and because of we're in the first stage of the
freeze for Bookworm, I'll though merge your merge request only after
the Bookworm release as it does not bring any advantage for Lintian in
Bookworm.
(And yes, I'll merge it even though the feature is not used as of now.
I still have hope that we can bring it back. :-)
Regards, Axel
