This is completely uncalled for since debhelper-compat already takes care of this. Please consider to fix it in r-u or fix it manually before you upload, as it introduces extra noise to take care of for later :)I confirm that I realised this. Its done by one of the Debian Janitor tools and I assume this is a bug in those tools. I admit I was to lazy to dig into those tools and file a bug report about this.
There's already a bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1003590 which has been fixed in the latest upload https://tracker.debian.org/news/1297402/accepted-lintian-brush-0120-source-into-unstable/ Please update the version of lintian-brush you have locally.
I'm not really motivated to revert those changes afterwards in routine-update
It decreases the overall quality, and I don't think not reverting this is a sensible thing to do. In any case, we do have a solution to not do this in future packages.
