Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: normal
Lintian now emits the following pedantic tag for packages using
X-DhRuby-Root:
P: remctl source: cute-field debian/control@ruby-remctl X-DhRuby-Root vs X-Dhruby-Root
N:
P: cute-field
N:
N: The named field uses a free-style form of capitalization, which is
N: permitted by policy. The alternative offered is probably a more common
N: variant in the archive.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.1 (Syntax of control files)
N: for details.
N:
N: Severity: pedantic
N:
N: Check: fields/style

build products are not copied into the package correctly and the resulting
package is empty. Apparently the Ruby package tooling requires that
specific capitalization.
This is with gem2deb 1.4.
