Re: Lintian changes for LTS development?

[Ola Lundqvist <ola@inguza.com>]

Hi Chris and others

My guess has been that we should not generally fix lintian warnings unless they are really important.

So I assume quite a few of them could be removed. But maybe I'm wrong here.

Cheers

Hi,

Whilst I think of it, are there any changes to Lintian that folks
here might consider particularly useful when doing LTS development?

I've already implemented some changes to not emit some specific
warnings when doing security updates, particularly to do with version
numbering. This is on the basis that if I automatically ignore some of
them, I might be inadvertently 'training' myself to ignore other,
more serious, ones.

However, I'm sure there is more low-hanging fruit that might prevent
potential regressions. Thoughts welcome.
