Bug#828700: RFS: twinkle/1.9.0+git20160520.0.be8b8df+dfsg-1 [binNEW] -- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) SIP Phone

Hi Gianfranco,

Thanks for sponsoring the binNEW upload of twinkle.

I had a closer look at the lintian warning issued by debomatic:

  X: twinkle source: maybe-not-arch-all-binnmuable twinkle -> twinkle-common
  N: 
  N:    Tag to attempt to measure the number of packages that might have an
  N:    issue with arch:all binNMUs.
  N:    
  N:    At this time, please do <not> attempt to "fix" the problem. It is not
  N:    clear what the solution is (if any at all). Nor is it clear that this is
  N:    something that will be supported.
  N:    
  N:    Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible
  N:    
  N:    Check: version-substvars, Type: source
  N:    
  N:    This tag is marked experimental, which means that the code that
  N:    generates it is not as well-tested as the rest of Lintian and might
  N:    still give surprising results. Feel free to ignore experimental tags
  N:    that do not seem to make sense, though of course bug reports are always
  N:    welcome.
  N: 

This experimental check not only flags twinkle but all packages that
have a "Depends: foo (= ${source:Version})" on an arch:all package.
As stated, there is nothing that can be done to solve that at the
moment, since neither ${binary:Version} nor ${source:Version} would
be appropriate for the case of an arch:all binNMU.
