Package: lintian Version: 2.122.0 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: helmut@subdivi.de, josh@joshtriplett.org Hi, it appears we have to tags which are basically about the same issue https://lintian.debian.org/tags/aliased-location Implemented by Helmut in https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/524 and https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag/package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames Implemented by Josh in https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/128 Imho we should consolidate those two tags as I find it confusing / unnecessary to have two tags which appear to do mostly the same. One noticeable difference is that aliased-location also flags aliased locations, so it appears like a superset of package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames.
With aliased locations I meant aliased directories. package-contains-usr-unmerged-pathnames only flags files.
