I think the problem is that I am running the Debian stable (Lenny) version of dpkg-dev, and you are probably running sid. I see now that for software intended for sid I should run the sid versions of these tools.
No, the problem is that you run it *ONLY* on the binary package and *NOT*
on the source package. Best is to:
- unpack the source package
- build it with dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot (or any other
incantantion you like)
- after that you have in the parent dir a .changes files that lists
the binary and source package files
- on that changes file you run lintian (as shown in my previous email)
If you do that on lenny it will the same spit out warnings over warnings!

That is why lintian is for, and it is working, also on lenny. Only you
didn't use it the right way.

Check for zenity, but you have to adjust the way it is invoced, AFAIS
the --program option is not present.
