Please make use of dh_lintian (gwyddion, bioimagesuite, sofa-framework, sequenceconverter.app
Hi,
since debhelper 6.0.7 there is a dh_lintian. The manual says:
If a file named debian/package.lintian-overrides exists ...
By chance I scanned our packaging directory for files with lintian
in the name and found:
find . -name \*lintian\* | grep -v "\.svn-base$"

So there are some packages that actually do not use dh_lintian but IMHO
we should make use of this. There is no need for an urgent fix - but we
should probably care for this once the packages in question are uploaded
the next time.
I confirm that med-doc is fixed in trunk now (hmmm, I should finally sit
down and make a releas of this package!!) but I would recommend fixing the
ones mentioned in the subject of this mail.
Ahh, BTW, once you are doing so you might consider verifying that the
lintian overrides are really needed and the problem can not be fixed otherwise.
Kind regards
Andreas.
