I think:

$ cat ~/.lintianrc 
color=always
# display-experimental=yes
display-info=yes
# pedantic=yes
## show-overrides=yes

is the explanation for the difference.

Yep.  Cme is ahead of lintian - so that's no problem.

Ignore the warning. :-)

BTW, for xtable the relevant information was in pristine-tar but also the
upstream code was in this branch but should not (also the pristine-tar
of the older version vanished).  I uploaded since it did not affected the
build but somehow your workflow has some flaw.

Another hint:  Its fine that you dropped me from Uploaders but in
principle a comma separated list is OK in Uploaders.

Kind regards
