Bug#1123542: lintian: warn that autopkgtest skip-not-installable is deprecated
Source: lintian
Version: 2.127.0
Severity: wishlist
Dear Lintian Maintainers
Please add a warning that the autopkgtest restriction
'skip-not-installable' is now deprecated. The README [1] of
autopkgtest contains the following text:
skip-not-installable (deprecated):
This restriction may cause a test to miss a regression due to
installability issues. If one wants to skip certain architectures, use
the Architecture field for that.
I think checking in debian/test/control for
Restrictions:.*skip-not-installable
might be all that's needed.
Regards
Graham
