I was the one who warned Roberto about dinstall doing a lintian
check of uploaded packages prior to installing. These were my
exact words:

=====> BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT <=====
Your package hass to be able to pass a check with lintian before
it will be installed in the archive. The scripts that do the actual
installation of a package into Debian do a lintain check, and if the
package fails, it is rejected.
=====> END INCLUDED TEXT <=====

I failed to make the distinction between lintian warnings and errors,
WRT how dinstall deals with them....

Warnings are "dirty". Errors are "Dirty". :^)

Mia culpa....

Cheers!
