This is currently an Informational level message. When it was a
Warning I declared Section: lisp, even though I do not believe that
this is accurate.
Re: fixing Lintian, this will require a discussion and a more clear
definition of Section: lisp. Most Emacs modes should probably be in
Section: editors, because they are interactive extensions to an
editor. Magit is definitely in the right section eg: vcs. Emacs
packages that enable IDE modes should be in Section: devel.
Section: lisp should be reserved for libraries like dash-el.

I've added it to my TODO and will start learning about how to do
this.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've reverted @commit:9095c18
because README.rst is only 2.8k and dh_compress already does the
right thing automatically; that is to say, README.rst is not
"larger than 4k in size" and should not be compressed.
On the topic of reproducibility, generating an info page made Elpy
unreproducible!
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/elpy.html
This will take time to look into. Possibilities are:
1) sphinx-build is at fault
2) makeinfo is at fault
3) something is missing how I'm using 1 and/or 2.
- if this is the case then it's also a case of incomplete
documentation
Sincerely,
Nicholas
