Re: RFS: kabikaboo (lintian)

[Dave Kerr <aidave@shaw.ca>]

Hi George, thanks for the help.

I fixed these:
W: kabikaboo: readme-debian-contains-debmake-template
W: kabikaboo: copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
W: kabikaboo: copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate
E: kabikaboo: description-starts-with-package-name
W: kabikaboo: extended-description-line-too-long
W: kabikaboo: unknown-section office
Replaced "office" with "text".

I am going to have to figure this manpage one out, but I think I can do
it on my own:
W: kabikaboo: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/kabikaboo

However I am unsure how to fix these two:
W: kabikaboo: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
W: kabikaboo: wrong-bug-number-in-closes l3:#nnnn

Could you give me some guidance on "new-package-should-close-itp-bug"
and "wrong-bug-number-in-closes l3:#nnnn"?  I read the documentation but
I'm unclear if I can submit a bug against my package if the package
isn't submitted yet... seems like a catch 22 to me!

thanks,
Dave Kerr
