lintian: unknown-section unknown-priority



     I have just built a new package for dict-elements-19990120 to be
FHS compliant.  Lintian gives the following warnings/errors:

bob:vc-/0:dict-elements>lintian dict-elements_19990120-2_i386.changes
W: dict-elements: unknown-section Text
E: dict-elements: unknown-priority Optional
 
     The debian/control file includes:

bob:vc-/0:debian>less control 
Source: dict-elements
Section: Text
Priority: Optional
Maintainer: Bob Hilliard <hilliard@debian.org>
Standards-Version: 3.0.1.1

Package: dict-elements
Section: Text
Priority: Optional
Architecture: all 
Description: Data regarding the Elements

     As an experiment, I lower-cased Text and Optional, and rebuilt the
package.  This was lintian-clean.

     Lintian doesn't object to other packages that use Section: Text
and Priority: Optional.

     I am using Lintian v1.7, kernel 2.2.12, and potato.

Bob
