Hi Nilesh,

This still happens with the following packages:

lucas@ullmann:~$ psql service=udd -c "select distinct source, version from lintian_logs where message != '' and message ~ 'mapping'";
 source  |     version     
---------+-----------------
 angband | 1:4.2.5+dfsg1-3
 qps     | 2.11.1-1
(2 rows)
