The above URL is wrong, there exists later packages.

Thanks!

This was (and is) fixed in the later packages.

Upstream has no changelog. Should I do a Lintian override? (Lintian man page
states that overriding pedantic tags are probably not worth the effort.)

I'll remove these then.

Removed.

Yes! Already packaged, as stated above.


I have prepared a new package with the fixes suggested above.

Have a look at the latest package at

    http://mentors.debian.net/package/vim-vimerl

Or download it with dget:

    dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vim-vimerl/vim-vimerl_1.4.1+git20120509.89111c7-2.dsc


Changes since last upload:

 vim-vimerl (1.4.1+git20120509.89111c7-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/control: Remove unused ${shlib:Depends}.
   * debian/rules: Remove template comments.
   * Do not install README.
