Bug#1028975: allegedly, tar warnings are not errors



Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.3
Severity: normal
Control: block -1 by #1028970

tar complains to stderr about features of archives that it does not 
understand, but the maintainer says that this is all right and consumers 
of tar's output need to deal with it (see #1028970 for details).

How to reproduce:

$ libcrypt-x509-perl_0.55-1_amd64.changes
Warning in processable ./libcrypt-x509-perl_0.55-1.dsc: Tried to issue duplicate hint in check unpack: unpack-message-for-source tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.com.apple.lastuseddate#PS'
E: libcrypt-x509-perl source: unpack-message-for-orig libcrypt-x509-perl_0.55.orig.tar.gz . tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.xattr.com.apple.lastuseddate#PS'
W: libcrypt-x509-perl source: newer-standards-version 4.6.2.0 (current is 4.6.1.0)

If this is not a real error then maybe it should have pedantic severity 
instead.
