Dear Release Team,

Please consider unblocking lintian 2.15.0 for buster (from 2.9.1). This
was specifically requested in #929577 by Mattia Rizzollo:

> I'd appreciate if you lintian maintainers could properly file unblock
> requests and get the version in buster updated as well.
>
> I know that most of your changes don't respect the freeze policy, but

Unfortunately, the changes are kinda big and there is no real way of
picking out the relevant changes, if that even is a concept. Is
"lintian" perhaps special? There's an argument that it should be
handled somewhat seperately but I can also see merit in not giving
anything preferential treatment.

    [ Chris Lamb ]
    * t/bin/runtests: Correct equality operator preventing the correct
      parsing of --onlyrun="" used when (eg.) executing autopkgtests and
      apply a patch from Felix Lechner to specify a missing --work-dir
      argument when building test packages. (Closes: #929430)
    * Add references to Debian Policy §4.9.2 and §5.6.31 for checks
      regarding Rules-Requires-Root. (Closes: #929428)
    * Correct more false-positives for missing-systemd-timer-for-cron-script
      due to an incorrect regular expression. Thanks again to Francesco Poli
      (wintermute) for the patch. (Closes: #927970)
    * Remove unnecessary commas from tag long descriptions and
      improve grammar in the description of testsuite-autopkgtest-missing.

    * Adjust package-contains-python-header-in-incorrect-directory as Python

    [ Ivo De Decker ]
    * Check for sources in the "main" section with only binaries in the

	- systemd-service-file-shutdown-problems

    [ Chris Lamb ]

      maintainer scripts that support "ancient" package versions.
      (Closes: #924501)
    * Correct false-positives in when checking for dh-runit packages that
      lack a "Breaks" substvar by ensuring that the binary package actually
      uses runit. (Closes: #924116)
    * Update the long description of the
      new-package-should-not-package-python2-module tag to justify further
      why a changelog entry is more appropriate than an override.
    * Remove errant "#" from the long description of
      inconsistent-appstream-metadata-license.

    [ Felix Lechner ]
    * Deprecate static labs; all labs are temporary from now on.
    * In autopkgtests, allow output to stderr to shorten waiting period.
    * Fix the rules-requires-root-implicitly test on stretch.
    * For stretch-backports, also Build-Depend on the "XS" version of the
      Text::CSV Perl module in addition to the pure Perl version.

This really should have been discussed in advance. Given the situation, I
unblocked it this time. Please note that this doesn't mean new uploads will be
unblocked. If you want to maintain the correct version ordering between
testing and backports, I suggest you don't do any new uploads to backports
before you get confirmation that the corresponding version will be accepted in
buster.

Thanks,

Ivo
