Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
I'm not sure if I'm at the right place here. I know not much about Debians
infrastructure.

This is about

https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?packages=backintime

There are two Issues, one with "groff-message" tag and one with "dbus-policy-
in-etc" tag.

To less experienced users it is not clear what this tags do mean. The
explanation should be linked somehow.

This would improve the workflow for new contributors and also attract potential
new contributors who are not familiar with Debian.

Kind
Christian

I finally fixed this. Sorry for the delay.

https://udd.debian.org/lintian?packages=entr has a link for each lintian
tag, that points to (e.g.) https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag.cgi?tag=superfluous-file-pattern
That page includes a description of the tag as well as all packages
affected by the tag.
