+  * Revert "Turn embedded-library into a classification tag. (Closes:
+    #932634)". The tag embedded-library is used by FTP masters for
+    automatic rejects.  So let's revert this change. First, #932634 has

+  * Fix arm64 autopkgtest by using a shell script as example instead of a

+  * Fix bad spellings that were used as good spelling for another bad
+    spelling. (Closes: #1027399)

+      - copyright-year-in-future
+
+  * checks/copyright-file.pm:
+    + [CL] Drop copyright-year-in-future after all; it's just too error

+  * checks/init.d.pm:
+    + [CL] Avoid warning for init.d-script-not-marked-as-conffile when

+
+  * doc/lintian.xml:
+    + [NT] Document that the XDG_DATA_HOME directory can be used for
+      user profiles and data files.  This has been supported for quite
+      a while but the documentation incorrectly listed "$HOME/.lintian"
+      instead (which in fact did not work for this purpose).
+      (Closes: #701477)
+
+  * frontend/dplint:
+    + [NT] Restore "$HOME/.lintian" as a directory that is used for
+      user profiles and data files.  It was advertised as such in the
+      documentation but the code actually only used the XDG_DATA_HOME
+      path.  Thanks to Daniel Kauffman for the report.  (Closes: #875636)
+    + [NT] Correct the order of restricted search paths (user directories

+      bug report.  (Closes: #872699)
+  * data/spelling/corrections:

+      "CAs" which was annoying for cryptographic software.  (Closes: #871791)
+  * data/standards-version/release-dates:
+    + [CL] Add 4.0.1 and 4.1.0 as known standards versions.
+      (Closes: #875509)

+    + [CL] Mention Debian Policy v4.1.0 in the description.
+    + [CL] Add myself to Uploaders.
+    + [CL] Drop unnecessary "Testsuite: autopkgtest"; this is implied from
+      debian/tests/control existing.
+
+  * commands/info.pm:
+    + [CL] Add a --list-tags option to print all tags Lintian knows about.
+      Thanks to Rajendra Gokhale for the suggestion.  (Closes: #779675)

+    + [CL] Use deb.debian.org as the default mirror.
+    + [CL] Update locations of Contents-<arch> files; they are now
+      namespaced by distribution (eg. "main").

+    + [BR] Avoid a false positive in gfdl file detection.
+    + [NT] Drop tags about outdated autotools config.guess and

+      geared for more thorough analysis.  (Closes: #848878)
+    + [CL] Check that README.source is not the dh_make template.
+      (Closes: #633850)

+  * checks/rules.{desc,pm}:
+    + [NT] Drop "package-would-benefit-from-build-arch-targets".  The
+      dpkg-buildpackage refuses to build packages that trigger this tag.
+      Also, the tag implies two other "W" tags so contributors are still
+      notified of a potential problem.
+    + [CL] Check for manual parsing of dpkg-parsechangelog output now that
+      we have /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk.

+    + [NT] Turn the lintian frontend into a dplint command module to avoid
+      code duplication.
+  * commands/reporting-*:
+    + [NT] Rewrite the config file handling.  The reporting framework now
+      uses a YAML configuration file instead of a perl script.
+    + [NT] Support processing packages from multiple archives and different
+      suites in these archives.  This enables lintian.d.o to also process
+      dbgsym packages.  (Closes: #856312)
+
+  * data/changes-file/known-dists:
+    + [NT] Add buster and remove squeeze.
+  * data/common/source-fields:

+  * data/scripts/maintainer-script-bad-command:
+    + [NT] Remove check for suidregister, dpkg --assert-working-epoch, and
+      dpkg --assert-multi-conrep.  None of these trigger any tags in the
+      archive any longer and the (new) features have been available for

+  * data/spelling/corrections:
+    + [NT] Apply patches from Edward Betts to fix bugs in the correction
+      word lists.  (Closes: #852005, #852084)
+    + [NT] Apply patch from Edward Betts to remove corrections for

+      spellings in AU.  (Closes: #852145)
+    + [EB] Add some more spelling corrections.  (Closes: #852369, #852404,

+      which is better suited for additional purposes than just
+      emitting Lintian tags.
+    + [JW, NT] Normalise spaces a bit better in check_spelling to

+
+  * debian/control:
+    + [NT] Recommend dpkg (>= 1.17.14) for the --ctrl-tarfile

+      do the clean).
+
+  * doc/CREDITS:
+    + [AB] Add contributors from 2014 and 2015.
+
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [NT] Produce a better error message for lintian detects
+      that a check has a dependency on an unknown collection.
+
+  * helpers/coll/objdump-info-helper:
+    + [NT] Apply patch from Matt Kraai that adjusts the regex
+      used for parsing readelf output.  Thanks to Martin Pitt
+      for reporting the issues.  (Closes: #771054)
+
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
+    + [NT] Add "debug" class for "is_pkg_class".  This uses the
+      package name to guess if the package is expected to
+      contain debug symbols.
+  * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
+    + [NT] Use croak() rather than L::Util's fail() on errors.
+      The issues are generally not "internal errors".
+  * lib/Lintian/Internal/FrontendUtil.pm:
+    + [NT] Work around a bug in autodie, where an fdopen of a
+      file-descriptor always failed with "bad file descriptor".
+  * lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+    + [NT] Null fields extra metadata fields in the lab storage
+      that are no longer used.  These were previously used by
+      the reporting framework.
+    + [NT] Automatically correct lab metadata, when the lab
+      discovers an entry does not exist.  Any remains of the
+      entry will be removed as well.  Previously, the lab would
+      just throw an error and require a manual correction of
+      the lab.
+  * lib/Lintian/Reporting/ResourceManager.pm:
+    + [NT] Only preserve the last extension of the installed
+      resource.  Previously it would keep all "extensions",
+      including long parts of the original name if it happened
+      to contain a period.
+  * lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
+    + [NT] Prefer dpkg-deb --ctrl-tarfile to "ar p" when dpkg
+      is recent enough.
+    + [NT] Stricten the permitted whitespace at the end of GPG
+      marker lines.  This is the same issue as CVE-2015-0840,
+      except lintian never attempted to validate the signature.
+    + [NT] Explicitly use YAML::XS for reading and writing
+      YAML files.  YAML::Any does not specify an interface for
+      reliably read YAML files in UTF-8 encoding leading to
+      "mojibake" in some cases.  Thanks to Andreas Rönnquist
+      for reporting the issue.  (Closes: #784639)
+
+  * profiles/ubuntu/main.profile:
+    + [BR] Exclude no-human-maintainers (Closes: #769036).
+
+  * reporting/config:
+    + [NT] Include and briefly document new configuration
+      options.
+  * reporting/{harness,html_reports}:
+    + [NT] Rewrite harness and remove the hard dependency on
+      a functional permanent laboratory in the reporting
+      framework.
+      - The framework now relies on the "harness state cache"
+        (a YAML file), which can be updated atomically.
+      - The harness framework now avoids stat(2)ing all

+      mostly to be explicit about how things are extracted.

+      a single --debug option.  Lintian will now also show
+      runtime for other things (e.g. total runtimes).
+    + [NT] Add --perf-debug and --perf-output options to enable
+      logging for performance data.  This is mostly intended
+      to allow collecting performance data from archive-wide
+      runs.
+    + [NT] Hide some options in the default output for --help.
+      These can now be shown with "--help=extended".
+    + [NT] Add a new "Developer/special usage options" section

+      index_resolved_path and control_index_resolved_path
+      instead.
+    + [NT] Remove all uses of debfiles (both the method and
+      the collection).  All methods (except "debfiles") now

+  * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:

+      This makes the Lintian processes shorter and makes memory

+  * checks/fields{,.desc}:

+      (Closes: #485705)
+    + [NT] Removed uploader-address-missing tag.

+      a known interpreter.  (Closes: #652594)

+    + [NT] Properly handle unpacked being a symlink.

+      for the test suite.

+    + [NT] Corrected the runtime estimate for an archive-wide run.

+      Broder.  (Closes: #650701)
+    + [NT] Added support for the virtual "GROUP" type in Lab Queries.

+      Lintian::Profile.
+    + [NT] Always load a profile.

+  * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
+    + [NT] Do not check for missing uploader address as it cannot be
+      done reliably anymore.
+    + [NT] Applied patch from intrigeri to remove the "not-full-name"
+      tags.
+    + [NT] Only emit a spelling tag once for each spelling error in each
+      field/file/text.
+  * lib/Lintian/CheckScript.pm:
+    + [NT] New file.
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/{Binary,Source}.pm:
+    + [NT] Assume packages to be non-native when it cannot be
+      accurately determined due to missing version field.
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
+    + [NT] Fixed an error in parsing symbol names when using readelf
+      as replacement for objdump.
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Group.pm:
+    + [NT] Made direct_dependencies properly handle udebs.  This fixes
+      an error that would cause lintian to skip some checks for udebs.
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Package.pm:
+    + [NT] Map an owner/group of "0/0" to "root/root".  This avoids a
+      number of false-positive ownership tags if only numerical
+      ownership is available in the tarball.  Thanks to Thorsten
+      Glaser for the report.  (Closes: #638278)

+  * lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+    + [NT] Added "is_temp" method to identify temp labs from static
+      labs.

+      otherwise.
+  * lib/Lintian/Lab/Entry.pm:
+    + [NT] Properly strip whitespace when loading collection status.
+  * lib/Lintian/Processable/Package.pm:
+    + [NT] Use part of the file name as package name if the mandatory
+      "Package" or "Source" fields are missing rather than choking.
+  * lib/Lintian/Profile.pm:
+    + [NT] Catch recursively defined profiles when the Profile field
+      contains a (slightly) different name than the Extends field of
+      its parent.  (Closes: #655469)
+    + [NT] Handle loading of checks and tags.
+  * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
+    + [NT] Accepted patch from Evan Broder to always output effective

+    + [NT] Use a Profile to determine if a tag is suppressed or not.

+    + [NT] Create clean_env function to handle cleaning of the

+      in syntax errors.  Thanks to Jari Aalto for the suggestion.
+      (Closes: #659909)
+
+  * man/lintian.pod.in:
+    + [NT] Removed the notes that some options disable loading of a
+      profile.  Lintian now always loads a profile when doing checks.
+
+  * private/refresh-archs:
+    + [NT] Rewritten.
+  * private/refresh-hwcap:
+    + [JW] New file.
+
+  * profiles/debian/ftp-master-auto-reject.profile:
+    + [NT] Refreshed.
+
+  * reporting/harness:
+    + [NT] Removed useless "TODO" message from the log output.
+    + [NT] Added -h/--help option to print usage information.
+    + [NT] Added --dry-run option.
+    + [NT] A source package is now only processed if one (or more) of
+      its binaries are processed as well.
+    + [NT] Also symlink $LINTIAN_BIN_DIR/gpgv to /bin/true when
+      skipping signature checks.  This avoids issues when some tools
+      prefers gpgv to gpg.
+  * reporting/html_reports:
+    + [JW] Properly handle uploader names with commas.
+    + [NT] Use the severities from profiles when generating tag pages.

+      field" tag if they contain newlines.
+    + [JW,NT] Clarified that build-depends-on-metapackage is not only

+  * checks/scripts:

+  * data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
+    + [NT] Add multi-arch dirs for hurd-i386.  Thanks to Julien
+      Cristau for noticing that they were missing.

+      to Guillem Jover for the suggestions.
+      (Closes: #644793, #646529)
+    + [JW] Added a number of corrections.  (Closes: #645393)
+
+  * debian/control:
+    + [CW] Mark lintian Multi-Arch: foreign (there does exist one
+      Architecture: any package that Build-Depends: lintian, so this helps
+      multiarch cross-building slightly).
+  * debian/lintian.install:
+    + [NT] Removed unpack which was removed.
+
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [NT] Collections explicitly requested (by -U) are no longer
+      auto-removed.  Previously the only way to prevent auto-removal
+      was to use --keep-lab.
+    + [NT] Removed all archive-wide testing code.  This has been moved
+      into reporting/harness.  This deprecates a lot options and config
+      variables (--arch, --archivedir, --area, --dist, --section and
+      LINTIAN_{ARCH,ARCHIVEDIR,AREA,DIST}).
+    + [NT] Support new lab query format, replacing the old "package
+      name"-based search.
+
+  * lib/Lab{,/Package}.pm:
+    + [NT] Removed, replaced by Lintian::Lab{,::Entry}.
+  * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:

+    + [NT] New files.  Replaces the Read_pkglists, Lab and
+      Lab::Package modules.
+  * lib/Lintian/Lab.pm:
+    + [JW,NT] Correctly handle $TMPDIR not being an absolute path.
+      (Closes: #642113)
+    + [NT] New lab layout style resembling the "pool" dirs of the
+      Debian mirrors.  This allows more than 32 000 packages of a
+      given type in the laboratory.  It also allows multiple
+      versions/architectures of the same package in static labs.
+      A feature previously only enabled in temporary labs.  The new
+      layout is incompatible with the old format.  (Closes: #641468)
+  * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
+    + [NT] Minor refactoring to simplify creation of the FullEWI
+      module.

+      of the normal Lintian output format.
+  * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+    + [NT] Use self-closing tags (if possible) and do not write
+      attributes with an empty value.
+  * lib/Lintian/Processable.pm:
+    + [NT] Reduced to an abstract class.  The "old" implementation
+      has been put into Lintian::Processable::Package.
+  * lib/Lintian/Processable/Package.pm:
+    + [NT] New file.
+    + [NT] Changed the "name" of changes files.  It is now equal to
+      the name of the source package.  Previously it was the filename
+      (without extension and without the dir part).
+  * lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
+    + [NT] Removed - replaced by Lintian::Lab::Manifest.
+  * lib/Util.pm:
+    + [NT] Stricten the parser to not accept a field name with a ":".
+      This could cause the parser to eat the first part of the value,
+      if it contained a colon and there was no space before the value.
+      Thanks to Pino Toscano for reporting the issue.
+    + [JW] Explicitly check that files are not encoded using ISO-2022,
+      when they should be encoded with UTF-8.  (Closes: #643009)
+    + [JW] Use "paragraph" and "field" rather than "section" and "tag"
+      when referring to a Debian control file.
+
+  * man/lintian.pod.in:
+    + [NT] Fixed a typo, thanks to Evgeni Golov for spotting it,
+
+  * private/generate-lintian-pod:
+    + [NT] Document which collections are auto-removed by default in
+      static labs.
+
+  * profiles/ubuntu/main.profile:
+    + [NT] Disable no-upstream-changelog and lzma-deb-archive for
+      Ubuntu.  Thanks to Evan Broder for the report and patch.
+      (Closes: #648117)
+
+  * reporting/*:
+    + [NT] Recognise and display pedantic tags.
+    + [JW] Only emit "plus X overrides" if there any overrides.
+  * reporting/{harness,html_reports}:
+    + [NT] Do not accept LINTIAN_UNPACK_LEVEL nor LINTIAN_SECTION
+      anymore.  The lintian frontend lost support for these in
+      2.5.0~rc3.
+  * reporting/harness:
+    + [NT] Refactored to handle the archive-wide checking directly.
+    + [NT] Use the new FullEWI output format for the archive-wide
+      logs.
+  * reporting/html_reports:
+    + [NT] Ensure source tags appear before binary tags.
+      (Closes: #580945)
+    + [NT] Supports the FullEWI output format.
+
+  * t/*:
+    + [NT] Skip some tests broken by a recent dpkg upload.

+  * checks/duplicate-files{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Replace the exception for "__init__.py" files by excluding
+      all empty files from the check.  The bug (#632789) only requests
+      an exception for "empty __init__.py" files and generally empty

+  * checks/fields{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Mention that perl modules included in perl itself should
+      be the first dependency if it is only included in the perl
+      from experimental.  Thanks to Dominic Hargreaves for the

+      now a Policy "must" directive.  (Closes: #640856)

+      package.  (Closes: #617901)
+    + [NT] Ignore non-ELF files in multiarch paths, when checking for
+      a missing pre-depends on multiarch-support.  Thanks to Sven

+      it is more accurate than diffstat for this.  (Closes: #640131)
+  * checks/rules:
+    + [NT] Do a simple and minimal variable tracking.  In very simple
+      cases, it can determine which targets a variable contains (when

+      the patch.   (Closes: #639430)
+    + [NT] Always display a given tag if requested with --tags
+      or --tags-from-file.  Previously, pedantic and experimental
+      tags were not shown unless the relevant options were also
+      passed.
+    + [JW,NT] Fixed a regression where --check-part ignored display
+      settings (such as --display-info).  (Closes: #640694)
+    + [NT] If both --verbose and --quiet is used together, then use
+      the last of them to appear rather than "both at the same time".
+      (Closes: #640366)
+    + [NT] Accept --quiet in lintianrc as "quiet".  This option may
+      not be used together with "verbose" in the config file.

+    + [NT] Catch "Name <Name <Email>>" as a malformed email address.
+      (Closes: #640489)
+    + [JW] Catch misspellings of the "Debian QA Group" maintainer
+      email (used for orphaned packages).  (Closes: #640834)
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect.pm:
+    + [JW,NT] Create the source field from the package field if the
+      former is not present.  This fixes a number of false-positives

+  * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
+    + [NT] Track which tags had overrides that have been dropped.

+      useful as intended.
+  * lib/Text_utils.pm:
+    + [NT] Close <p>-tags in dtml_to_html since the output is used
+      in xhtml (xml), where all tags must be closed properly.
+      (Closes: #639292)
+    + [NT] Remove the last new line (if any) before a </pre> in tag
+      to reduce the empty space to the next paragraph.
+  * lib/Util.pm:
+    + [JW] Use LC_ALL rather than LANG, since LC_ALL overrules
+      LANG.
+    + [JW] Stricten the DCtrl parser to choke on some syntax errors
+      that were silently ignored.  (Closes: #639516)
+
+  * man/lintian.pod.in:
+    + [JW] Fixed some stray POD markup.  (Closes: #640705)
+    + [JW,NT] Clarified that --tags and --tags-from-file ignores

+      with --verbose or --debug.
+    + [NT] Documented how --verbose and --quiet can be enabled via

+
+  * checks/*:
+    + [NT] Migrated to use new methods in the Lintian::Collect
+      interfaces rather than accessing the Lab directly.
+    + [NT] Removed "fields" from Needs-Info.
+  * checks/{debconf,conffiles}.desc:
+    + [NT] Added missing bin-pkg-control Needs-Info.
+  * checks/{cruft,fields}{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Relocated doc pkg not arch all tag; it was never
+      triggered since cruft was a source check and the tag
+      could only be triggered for binary packages.
+  * checks/binaries:
+    + [NT] Added lib/${MULTIARCH_DIR} to the list of paths to
+      check for public shared libraries.  Thanks to Sven Joachim

+      handled by the profile.  Thanks to Benjamin Drung for the
+      heads up.
+  * checks/circular-deps.desc:
+    + [NT] Fixed typo; thanks to Nicolás Alvarez for the report
+      and patch.  (Closes: #630925)
+  * checks/control-files:
+    + [NT] Refactored static tables into data-files.
+  * checks/copyright-file:
+    + [NT] Stricten one of the regexes for catching left over

+    + [NT] Use group data to determine if a package is foreign
+      or not for symlinked /usr/share/doc/<pkg> dirs.  This

+  * checks/debhelper:
+    + [NT] Do not trigger deprecation warning for dh_python if it
+      is followed by a "$".  This prevents false-positives when
+      a Makefile variable is used to choose between dh_python2
+      and dh_python3.  Thanks to Leonid Borisenko for the report.
+      (Closes: #631662)
+    + [NT] Do not trigger deprecation warning for dh_python-ply,
+      which Lintian incorrectly identified as dh_python.  Thanks
+      to Daniele Tricoli for the report.  (Closes: #632693)
+    + [NT] Fix a broken regex that caused Lintian skip brace
+      expansion checks for some debhelper files.  Thanks to
+      Jakub Wilk for the report and the patch.  (Closes: #632883)
+    + [NT] Do not consider "debian/debhelper" a temporary debhelper
+      file.  Some packages uses this a directory to store their
+      debhelper files.
+  * checks/debian-source-dir{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Added missing word in the tag description for
+      git-patches-not-exported.
+    + [NT] Fixed information disclosure issue, where Lintian could
+      be tricked into disclosing the present of files on the host
+      system via specially crafted source packages.
+  * checks/duplicate-files:
+    + [NT] Exclude  __init__.py files from the check as they are

+    + [NT] Fixed a bug where the libdb1-compat tag only triggered
+      if libdb1-compat was listed in Pre-Depends.
+    + [NT] Updated list of python "dev" packages.  Thanks to
+      Jakub Wilk for the patch.
+  * checks/filename-length{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] New file that checks the length of the package file
+      names.  (Closes: #631656)
+  * checks/files:

+    + [NT] Accepted patch from Marcelo Jorge Vieira to catch
+      four additional embedded javascript libraries.
+      (Closes: #635447)
+    + [NT] Stricten the regex for finding .xvpics dirs.
+    + [NT] Shipping a lintian override is no longer enough to
+      make lintian consider the package for "non-empty".
+  * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Provide a separate tag for upstart-jobs not registered
+      via update-rc.d in postinst.  This allows vendors (such as
+      Ubuntu) to disable this tag for upstart-jobs only using the
+      new vendor profiles.  While this would break overrides, all
+      existing overrides appears to be for normal scripts rather
+      than upstart-jobs.  (Closes: #631872)
+  * checks/java{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Jar files containing clojure files are no longer
+      considered to be codeless.
+    + [NT] Exclude jar files in /usr/lib/xul{-ext,runner} from the
+      "jar-not-in-usr-share" check.  (Closes: #635495)

+      "NMU" in changelogs for suppressing
+      changelog-should-mention-nmu.  Thanks to Jordi Mallach for
+      the report.  (Closes: #620418)
+  * checks/po-debconf:
+    + [NT] Allow po-files with an "@modifier", which works with
+      debconf (>= 1.5.34).  (Closes: #617905)
+  * checks/rules:
+    + [NT] Check included files in d/rules against a limited
+      number of common makefile snippets, which are known not
+      to implement all the required targets.  This prevents
+      false negatives of missing targets.  Thanks to
+      Jakub Wilk for the suggestion and the initial makefile
+      list.  (Closes: #631711)
+    + [NT] Warn about including the CDBS simple-patchsys and dpatch
+      as they are both deprecated by source format 3.0 (quilt).

+    + [NT] Added check for using DEB_*FLAGS_{SET,APPEND} in d/rules.
+      Thanks to Raphaël Hertzog for the report.  (Closes: #631786)

+      longer available and we have no known packages triggering
+      the tags at the moment.  (Closes: #631432)
+    + [NT] Added perl6/rakudo as a known interpreter.  Thanks to
+      Alessandro Ghedini for the report and patch.  (Closes: #636354)

+      reporting the issue.
+    + [NT] Applied patch from Peter Pentchev to correct the logic for
+      testing for shlib-calls-exit.  (Closes: #633976)
+    + [NT] Mention that some of the tags may be triggered due to the
+      debhelper bug #204975.  Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the report.
+      (Closes: #633853)
+  * checks/symlinks:
+    + [NT] Symlink checking extended to relative paths as well.
+      (Closes: #217023)
+
+  * collection/*:
+    + [NT] Removed all Needs-Info on "fields" and all checks that
+      used the "fields" dir (or files therein) to determine if the
+      scripts had been called in the wrong dir.
+  * collection/diffstat:
+    + [NT] No longer unconditionally creates a diffstat file,
+      since the Lintian::Collect interface will fall back to
+      using /dev/null in its absence.
+  * collection/fields:
+    + [NT] Removed creation of cross package symlinks.  They have
+      been replaced by the group information that checks are
+      passed.
+    + [NT] Deprecated it in favour of a smarter Lintian::Collect.
+      It will be removed in a later release; for now it will just
+      remove the "fields" directory in the lab.
+  * collection/file-info:
+    + [NT] Double check the output of file(1) when it says a ".gz"
+      file is not gzip compressed.  This should reduce the number
+      of false-positives gz-file-not-gzip tags.
+      (Closes: #620289)
+    + [NT] Open files before using chdir.  In the future unpacked
+      may be a symlink.
+  * collection/index{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Updated to handle source packages and with support for
+      multi tarball source packages.
+
+  * data/control-files/{,u}deb-permissions:
+    + [NT] Added files.
+  * data/fields/*:
+    + [NT] Added new files based on data variables from checks/fields.
+  * data/fields/obsolete-packages:
+    + [NT] Added libdigest-sha1-perl on request of the Perl Team.
+      Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso for the report and patch.
+      (Closes: #635441)
+  * data/fields/perl-provides:
+    + [NT] Refreshed against perl 5.12.4.
+  * data/files/standard-files:
+    + [NT] Added file.
+  * data/rules/{deprecated,known}-makefiles:
+    + [NT] Added file.
+  * data/spelling/corrections:
+    + [RA] Remove discontiguous correction.  The OED lists this as valid.
+      Thanks, Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #632159)
+    + [NT] Added another correction for "specification".  Thanks to
+      Jakub Wilk for the hint.  (Closes: #634222)
+    + [NT] Added another correction for "development" and "misspelt".
+      Thanks to Pino Toscano and Jakub Wilk for the suggestion.
+
+  * debian/control:
+    + [NT] Bumped debhelper version to 8.1.0 due to the build-arch and
+      build-indep targets.  Thanks to Mark Hymers for the heads up and
+      a patch.  (Closes: #632550)
+    + [NT] Added Build-Depends on cdbs, it is needed for some of the
+      tests.
+    + [NT] Pruned the Uploaders list a bit.  We would like to thank
+      Jeroen van Wolffelaar, Frank Lichtenheld and Marc 'HE'
+      Brockschmidt for their work on Lintian in the past.
+  * debian/lintian.install:
+    + [NT] Added the profiles directory.
+  * debian/rules:
+    + [NT] Added target to update the profiles.
+
+  * doc/lintian.xml:
+    + [NT] Added information about the new Vendor profiles.
+    + [NT] Improved various parts of the User Manual.  Especially
+      mention that Lintian can be run on changes files and this
+      processes all packages related to the changes file.
+  * doc/lintianrc.example:
+    + [NT] Added more sample options.
+
+  * frontend/{lintian,lintian-info}:
+    + [NT] Added profile support (new option --profile), please
+      refer to the Lintian User Manual for more information.
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [NT] Ensure that all dependency collections of a check are
+      loaded.  Previously Lintian would only load direct
+      dependencies of a collection and assume that was enough.
+    + [NT] Allow "verbose" to appear in the lintianrc file.
+    + [NT] Added new "--packages-from-file" option.  Lintian will
+      read packages from the file (one package per line) and process
+      these.  Unlike "--packages-file" it allows its argument to be
+      "-" for stdin and the format is simpler.
+    + [NT] Deprecated "--packages-file" in favour of the new
+      "--packages-from-file" option.
+    + [NT] Allow "y" as short form of "yes" in the configuration file.
+      Furthermore, ignore case when doing the check for boolean
+      values.
+
+  * lib/Lab.pm:
+    + [NT] Removed $dist argument to lab creation, since we rely on
+      LINTIAN_DIST being exported anyway.
+    + [NT] Allow temporary labs to contain the same package twice if
+      the version or/and architecture differs.  (Closes: #632115)
+  * lib/Lab/Package.pm:
+    + [NT] Symlink in all components of the source package when
+      creating the source entry in the lab.  Also removed legacy
+      code for using the old unpack scripts.
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/{Binary,Source}.pm:
+    + [NT] Refactored code from these files into the module
+      Lintian::Collect::Package.
+  * lib/Lintian/Collect/Package.pm:
+    + [NT] New file.  This serves as a base for Lintian::Collect
+      modules that can be unpacked.
+  * lib/Lintian/Command.pm:
+    + [NT] Added support for appending output to files without
+      truncating them first via the new out_append and
+      err_append options.
+  * lib/Lintian/Data.pm:
+    + [NT] Let new take an optional fourth argument, a code sub,
+      that can be used to pre-process the value.
+  * lib/Lintian/{Internal/FrontendUtil,Profile}.pm:
+    + [NT] New files.
+  * lib/Lintian/ProcessablePool.pm:
+    + [NT] Made the pool consider two packages with the same name
+      as duplicates even if their version or architecture differs,
+      when the underlying Lab does not support this run.  This
+      causes lintian to drop one of the packages rather than ending
+      up with an internal error.
+  * lib/Lintian/{Tag/Info,Tags}.pm:
+    + [NT] Updated for profile support.
+  * lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
+    + [NT] Merged the binary and udeb format since they were
+      essentially the same.  Old udeb files can still be parsed
+      as binary ones.
+
+  * man/lintian.pod.in:
+    + [NT] Documented the new --profile option.  Note that the
+      options --suppress-tags{,-from-file} now suppresses tags
+      in the active profile.
+    + [NT] Removed all references to "unpack-level".  All unpack
+      levels have been replaced by collections.
+    + [NT] Clarified that some command-line arguments are only
+      useful when using a static lintian lab.
+    + [NT] Described the configuration file format.  Thanks to
+      Sven Joachim for the report.  (Closes: #636681)
+  * man/lintian-info.pod:
+    + [NT] Documented the new --profile option.
+
+  * profiles/*:
+    + [NT] Added default profiles for Debian and Ubuntu.  Note
+      that these profiles will silently ignore overrides for
+      "fatal" (non-overridable) tags.  (Closes: #536364)
+
+  * reporting/harness:
+    + [NT] Use --packages-from-file instead of --packages-file.
+  * reporting/{html_reports,templates/index.tmpl}:
+    + [NT] Always emit a page for tags, even if they are not emitted.
+      It will also include a link to the entire list of known tags.
+      (Closes: #631763)
+  * reporting/templates/{tag-not-seen,tags-all}.tmpl:
+    + [NT] New files.
+
+  * unpack/list-binpkg:
+    + [NT] Added a -u option to make it fetch udebs instead of
+      regular binaries.  This and the udeb/bin format merge makes
+      list-udebpkg obsolete.
+  * unpack/list-udebpkg:
+    + [NT] Removed in favour of list-binpkg.
+  * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l1:
+    + [NT] Removed in favour of the collection system.

+      glee, glew and libtheora.  (Closes: #629288)
+    + [NT] Also consider multiarch dirs when looking for public shared
+      libraries.  (Closes: #630164)
+  * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Recognise that dh_python and dh_pycentral are now obsolete.

+  * checks/changes-file:
+    + [NT] Always verify the checksums of changes-files.

+      error if triggered.  Thanks to Guillem Jover for the report.
+      (Closes: #628754)
+    + [NT] Added bad-perm-for-file-in-etc-sudoers.d tag.
+      (Closes: #588831)
+    + [CW] Do not issue missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support for
+      udebs.
+    + [NT] Limit missing-pre-dependency-on-multiarch-support to real
+      files only.  Previously it would also check symlinks.
+      (Closes: #629648)
+  * checks/java{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Sort the jar files by name, so they are checked in the same
+      order.
+    + [NT] Improved the description of classpath-contains-relative-path.
+      (Closes: #629189)
+    + [NT] Reduced false-positives of classpath-contains-relative-path.
+      Relative classpaths are now okay if they point to jar files in
+      /usr/share/java (but not subdirs thereof) and there is a strong
+      libX-java dependency.  Alternatively if the classpath points to
+      a file or a symlink in the package itself, then it is also okay.
+    + [NT] Allow maven plugins to be without classpaths.
+      (Closes: #629056)
+  * checks/manpages.desc:
+    + [ADB] Don't suggest using debmake's output as a reference.  The
+      package is not even in oldstable any more.
+  * checks/md5sums.desc:
+    + [ADB] Drop references to obsolete debstd.  Thanks to Steve Langasek
+      for the pointer.
+  * checks/rules:
+    + [NT] Removed code for handling packages with dh_python.
+    + [NT] Fixed the code for determining Build-Depends for python
+      packages.  Thanks to Jakub Wilk for the patch.
+      (Closes: #614876, #616553)
+    + [NT] Applied patch from Roger Leigh to implement the check for
+      rules files missing the build-arch and build-indep targets.
+      (Closes: #605012)
+  * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Added non-empty-dependency_libs-in-la-file.  (Closes: #628673)
+    + [NT] Removed ldconfig-symlink-before-shlib-in-deb.
+
+  * collection/java:
+    + [NT] Fixed a regex that would accept any file ending with "jar" to
+      be a jar file rather than only accepting ".jar".  This fixes a
+      number of false-positives java checks.
+  * collection/unpacked:
+    + [NT] Added support for unpacking source packages using libdpkg-perl,
+      instead of dpkg-source, if the latter is not present.
+      (Closes: #626476)
+
+  * data/binaries/multiarch-dirs:
+    + [NT] New file - maps architectures to multiarch dirs.
+  * data/fields/{perl-provides,virtual-packages}:
+    + [NT] Refreshed.  (Closes: #627082, #627431)
+  * data/output/ftp-master-*:
+    + [NT] Refreshed.
+  * data/shared-libs/ldconfig-dirs:
+    + [NT] Updated ldconfig path for i386 multiarch paths.  Thanks to
+      Raphaël Hertzog for the reminder.
+  * data/spelling/corrections-multiword:
+    + [CW] Remove the "requires to" correction; it has too many common
+      false positives, especially involving relative clauses.
+      (Closes: #625886)
+
+  * debian/control:
+    + [NT] (Build-)Dependency changes.
+      - xz-lzma is now preferred to lzma as Build-Dependency
+      - Added depends on libdpkg-perl
+      - Reduced dpkg-dev to a suggests, we can use libdpkg-perl as
+        fallback.
+      - Explicitly depends on bzip2 to always support bz2 source packages.
+      - Added xz-utils as suggests - needed for .xz source packages.
+  * debian/rules:
+    + [NT] Added recommended targets build-arch and build-indep.
+
+  * doc/lintian.xml:
+    + [NT] Clarify that the package type is not listed in the output for
+      binary packages.  (Closes: #629193)
+
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [NT] Allow some options to be put into the lintianrc file.
+      (Closes: #460350)
+    + [NT] Added --no-cfg option that can be specified if no config
+      file should be read.
+    + [NT] Deprecated --checksums (also known as --md5sums and -m).
+      Lintian will now always verify the checksums in changes files.
+      The options will be accepted with a warning for now, but may
+      be removed in a later release.  (Closes: #629453)
+    + [NT] Fixed an issue where fail was called before it was
+      available.  Thanks to Toby Corkindale for the report.
+      (Closes: #630560, LP: #797553)
+
+  * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:
+    + [NT] Output the name of the check and the type of the check
+      along with the description of the tag.
+  * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
+    + [NT] Fixed a flaw in logic that gave incorrect results for
+      architecture dependent overrides.  Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for
+      the report and the patch.  (Closes: #626587)
+
+  * man/lintian.pod.in:
+    + [NT] Mentioned that --checksums and aliases are deprecated.
+
+  * unpack/list-srcpkg:
+    + [ADB] Don't rely on the order of fields in the Sources file.  The
+      files produced by the Debian archive no longer follow the order

+  * checks/java:
+    + [NT] Tightened the regex for finding java libraries and restricted
+      missing-classpath tag to only be emitted for packages that actually
+      contain at least one jar file we check.  This fixes false-positives
+      for packages that depended on libX-java-doc packages or packages
+      that only contain jar files we ignore.
+  * check/scripts{,.desc}:
+    + [NT] Accepted patch from Antonio Terceiro to allow ruby-interpreter

+
+  * data/common/source-fields:

+  * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:

+  * checks/symlinks{,.desc}:

+  * lib/Lintian/Relation.pm:
+    + [RA] Don't require a package name component after a substvar to
+      follow the rules of the beginning of a package name.  Fixes
+      stronger-dependency-implies-weaker false positives containing
+      substvars.  (Closes: #580494)
+  * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
+    + [ADB] Import "warning" from Lintian::Output, really fixing the

+      - package-type-in-debian-control
+
+  * checks/changes-file.desc:
+    + [RA] Add references for file-size-mismatch-in-changes-file and
+      checksum-mismatch-in-changes-file.
+  * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+    + [RA] Remove package-type-in-debian-control now that dpkg-dev handles
+      it as desired by the d-i team.  xc-package-type-in-debian-control
+      replaces it as a pedantic check to encourage switching to the
+      official name.  Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
+    + [RA] Add reference for debian-control-with-duplicate-fields.
+  * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+    + [RA] Deprecate references to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD in

+      and diagnose any architecture wildcard, not just "any".
+    + [RA] Warn of using Conflicts with a version, which should normally
+      be Breaks instead, but only at wild-guess certainty for now.
+  * checks/huge-usr-share{,.desc}:
+    + [RA] Count file size from the tar listing rather than using du.  The

+    + [RG] Check for init.d scripts depending on unknown virtual
+      facilities.
+    + [RA] Remove checkroot from the list of scripts that should use a

+  * checks/manpages{,.desc}:
+    + [RA] Run man page checks using the en_US.UTF-8 locale now that we

+    + [RA] Fix a typo that skipped checks on the Build-Conflicts field.
+    + [RA] Rework weak-library-dev-dependency to allow more approaches to

+      (Closes: #558214)
+
+  * lib/Lintian/Check.pm:
+    + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
+  * lib/Lintian/Output.pm:
+    + [RA] print_tag() now takes an additional argument containing
+      override data and expects a Lintian::Tag::Info object as the tag
+      info instead of a hash.
+    + [RA] Adjust for the renaming of pkg in the file information hash.
+  * lib/Lintian/Output/*.pm:
+    + [RA] Adjust for print_tag() and file information hash changes.
+  * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:

+  * lib/Lintian/Tag/Info.pm:

+      Tags.pm.
+    + [RA] Add certainty, severity, and tag accessor methods.
+    + [RA] Add a method saying whether a tag is experimental.
+    + [RA] Record the check script corresponding to each tag and add an
+      accessor method for it.
+    + [RA] Add a sources method returning a list of sources referenced by
+      a tag, based on the get_tag_source method from Tags.pm.
+  * lib/Lintian/Tags.pm:
+    + [RA] New module in a proper namespace replacing Tags.pm.  A global
+      Lintian::Tags object replaces the static variables in the Tags
+      namespace, with new accessor functions, except for the tag metadata
+      functions (which have moved to Lintian::Tag::Info).  All handling of
+      display levels is now here instead of in frontend/lintian.
+    + [RA] Support suppressing a list of tags.
+    + [RA] Suppress calling Lintian::Output::print_end_pkg for changes
+      files, where we don't call print_start_pkg.  This fixes an unmatched
+      closing tag in the experimental XML output.
+  * lib/Spelling.pm:
+    + [RA] Use Lintian::Tags instead of Tags.
+    + [RA] Ignore all-caps words of five characters or less for spelling
+      corrections, since they are probably acronyms.  Thanks, Michal
+      Čihař.  (Closes: #556456)
+    + [RA] Report the original word in spelling errors rather than the
+      normalized form.
+    + [RG] Detect some multi-word spelling errors.
+    + [RA] Remove the als to also correction.  This is a word in several

+      false positives.
+  * lib/Tags.pm:
+    + [RA] Removed in favor of Lintian::Tags.

+    + [RA] Remove bug that Lintian doesn't handle packages with different
+      binary and source versions correctly.  I don't believe this is still
+      an issue.
+  * man/lintian-info.1:
+    + [RA] Add -h (--help).

+
+  * t/runtests:
+    + [RA] Unwrap the Options field so that it can be continued.
+    + [RA] Replace TESTSET in Options with the root of the test suite so
+      that lintian options referring to files can be tested with files in
+      the test suite directory.
+    + [RA] Support a new Sort: no field in package test metadata to
+      suppress sorting of lintian output, for testing output formatting.
+    + [RA] Use Lintian::Command::spawn to run Lintian for package tests so
+      that the lintian options may contain shell metacharacters.
+    + [RA] Put all error output from lintian unsorted before the regular
+      output, making it easier to diagnose errors.
+    + [RA] Suppress checking the syntax of the lintian output if neither

+
+  The "synchronize severities with ftpmaster's Lintian checks" release.
+
+  * Summary of tag changes:
+    + Removed:
+      - copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
+    + Promoted from experimental:
+      - spelling-error-in-binary
+      - template-uses-unsplit-choices
+
+  * checks/binaries.desc:
+    + [RA] Remove experimental marker on spelling-error-in-binary.  Change
+      severity to minor; spelling errors are minor bugs.
+    + [RA] library-in-debug-or-profile-should-not-be-stripped,
+      binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath, arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share, and
+      binary-in-etc, binary-file-compressed-with-upx,
+      binary-with-bad-dynamic-table, and embedded-zlib are now
+      serious since they can result in ftpmaster rejects.  embedded-zlib,
+      missing-dependency-on-libc, and binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath are
+      possible rather than certain since overrides are allowed.
+  * checks/changelog-file:
+    + [FL] Avoid various Perl warnings which can be caused by
+      completely broken changelog files.
+  * checks/conffiles.desc:
+    + [RA] file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile is serious (ftpmaster reject).
+      Add a Policy reference and improve the description.
+    + [RA] non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile is serious/possible rather than
+      important/certain (ftpmaster reject unless overridden).
+  * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+    + [RA] Say to use (= ${binary:Version}) to fix weak dependencies
+      between a library dev package and the shared library.  Thanks,
+      Norbert Preining.  (Closes: #548218)
+    + [ADB] Fix an uninitialised value warning when processing a

+      Nussbaum.
+    + [RA] build-info-in-binary-control-file-section and
+      debian-control-with-duplicate-fields are now serious (ftpmaster
+      reject).
+    + [RA] Allow -dev dependencies based on source:Upstream-Version or
+      source:Version if the -dev package is architecture: all.  Thanks,

+      control-file-has-bad-owner are now serious (ftpmaster reject).
+      Mention that the config control file should also be executable.
+  * checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+    + [FL] Add special exception to no-copyright-file for perl.
+      See #522827 for discussion.  (Closes: #553262)
+    + [FL] Extend match for exceptions to copyright-refers-to-symlink-license
+      to catch more ways to specify Perl's license.  Patch from
+      Salvatore Bonaccorso.  (Closes: #549596)
+    + [RA] copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate
+      removed, as some package maintainers prefer to use Author(s) and
+      have filled out the copyright file.  (Closes: #553469)
+    + [RA] Add additional dh_make template strings to the
+      helper-templates-in-copyright check, including the templates for
+      upstream author or copyright holder, which effectively replaces
+      copyright-lists-upstream-authors-with-dh_make-boilerplate with far
+      fewer false positives.
+    + [RA] Remove a duplication of the check for "This copyright info was
+      automatically extracted from the perl module" by dh-make-perl, and
+      ensure that this is copyright-contains-dh-make-perl-boilerplate and
+      not helper-templates-in-copyright, since it is lower severity.
+    + [RA] copyright-refers-to-old-directory, old-style-copyright-file,

+      Laurent Bigonville.  (Closes: #551051)
+    + [RA] Allow CMakeCache.txt files in the debian directory.  Thanks,

+      construct a Policy-compliant package that triggers this tag by
+      creating users in preinst, and asking package maintainers to file a

+      diff to be a patch description.  (Closes: #553697)
+    + [RA] If a diff outside of the patch system only creates new files

+      just putting them in the debian directory rather than using a patch
+      system.  Thanks, Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #550924)

+        since it's much more likely to be an error.
+      - Separate control-interpreter-in-usr-local from
+        interpreter-in-usr-local since the severity is higher.

+      - quilt-patch-missing-description
+      - shlib-calls-exit
+
+  * checks/common_data.pm:
+    + [FL] New variable $known_shells_regex which matches known shell
+      names.  This removes some synchronisation issues between the
+      different regexes in use.
+  * checks/debconf{,.desc}:
+    + [CW] Update my e-mail address.
+    + [ADB] Don't detect the use of "?" as a literal character or wildcard
+      as part of a question in an extended template description.  Based
+      on a patch by Stephen Gran.  (Closes: #500661)
+  * checks/debhelper:
+    + [FL] Use Lintian::Data for list of debhelper commands that modify
+      maintainer scripts.  Patch by Raphael Geissert.
+    + [FL] Add new tag missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command for
+      debhelper commands that are not from the debhelper package.
+      Patch by Raphael Geissert.
+    + [FL] Add new tag debhelper-but-no-misc-depends which warns
+      about missing misc:Depends if you use commands that might
+      set it.  Patch by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #499737)
+  * checks/fields:
+    + [ADB] Ignore non-dependency fields when considering whether a
+      versioned dependency is satisfied by the perl core packages.
+      Based on a patch by Niko Tyni.  (Closes: #500720)
+    + [RA] Stop checking for a libmodule-build-perl build dependency since
+      Module::Build now comes with Perl.  Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
+      (Closes: #506697)
+  * checks/files:
+    + [ADB] Apply patches from Raphael Geissert to update the list of
+      embedded PHP libraries:
+      - Add detection for the Snoopy and GeSHi libraries and the use of
+        phpmailer.inc (rather than .php).
+      - Enable the libmarkdown-php check, as the package is now in unstable.
+      - Add support for the (not currently packaged and thus disabled) IXR
+        and kses libraries.
+  * checks/infofiles:
+    + [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
+  * checks/menus:
+    + [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
+  * checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:

+      when determining whether the patch includes a description.
+      (Closes: #503695)
+    + [ADB] Add missing "diffstat" to the Needs-Info field.
+    + [ADB] Check whether quilt patches include a description.
+      (Closes: #498892)
+  * check/scripts:
+    + [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
+    + [FL] Add icmake as a known interpreter as requested by
+      Frank B. Brokken.  (Closes: #505868)
+  * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
+    + [ADB] Don't issue both symbols-file-contains-debian-revision and
+      symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision for any
+      given symbol, as the latter implies the former and may thus create
+      noise in the tests' output.  (Closes: #505826)
+    + [ADB] Add an experimental tag flagging shared libraries that call
+      _exit() or exit() without at some point calling fork() (a somewhat
+      inaccurate heuristic, but one which should weed out a number of
+      false positives).  (Closes: #504257)
+
+  * collection/objdump-info:
+    + [ADB] Only use readelf to emulate objdump if objdump returned "file
+      format not recognized".  In cases where the objdump output was "invalid
+      operation", the output of etch's readelf is not particularly useful
+      and it's easier to simply let the checks scripts handle the objdump
+      output.
+
+  * debian/control:
+    + [FL] Add dependency on libipc-run-perl for Lintian::Command.
+
+  * doc/lintian.sgml:

+    + [CW] Add jaunty as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
+      the EOLed edgy and feisty.
+    + [ADB] Don't complain about unused overrides if the check script
+      for the overridden tag hasn't been run (or --tags was used and
+      the overridden tag not specified).  (Closes: #501722)
+
+  * lib/Lintian/Output:
+    + [FL] New module to bundle output methods.
+  * lib/Tags/{ColonSeparated,LetterQualifier}.pm:
+    + [FL] Move to lib/Lintian/Output and convert to subclasses of
+      Lintian::Output.
+  * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
+    + [FL] New experimental output format.
+  * lib/Lintian/Command:
+    + [FL] New utility module as a replacement for Pipeline. Provides
+      a convenient wrapper around IPC::Run.
+
+  * lib/Lab.pm:
+    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
+  * lib/Tags.pm:
+    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
+  * lib/Pipeline.pm:
+    + [FL] Remove, replaced by Lintian::Command.
+  * lib/Spelling.pm:
+    + [RA] Add subversion to Subversion correction for package descriptions.
+      Thanks, Sandro Tosi.  (Closes: #506793)
+    + [ADB] Don't check text contained within square brackets for
+      capitalisation mistakes.  This allows for lists such as "[ cvs |
+      subversion ]" to be included.
+  * lib/Util.pm:
+    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
+    + [FL] Add some new utility functions: delete_dir copy_dir gunzip_file
+      touch_file.
+
+  * private/refresh-debhelper-data:
+    + [FL] New script to update debhelper related data by Raphael Geissert.
+      - data/debhelper/miscDepends_commands: debhelper commands that set
+         misc:Depends
+      - data/debhelper/maint_commands: debhelper commands that edit
+         maintainer scripts
+      - data/debhelper/dh_packages: packages that contain debhelper commands
+      - data/debhelper/dh_commands: mapping of debhelper commands to
+         packages they are contained in
+
+  * testset/{diffs,filenames}:
+    + [ADB] Generate the files "files/'\ " and "filenames.c~" at build time
+      instead of including it in the source package, to allow lintian to be
+      imported in to Bazaar.

+
+  * checks/scripts:

+    + [RA] Check for a maintainer also listed in uploaders.  Patch from

+    + [ADB] Don't issue an error tag for obsolete packages in Build-Depends
+      fields if the package is part of an "ORed group" of packages and is
+      not listed first.  As with Depends, an info tag will still be issued

+        thus disabled.
+      - Add experimental check for embedded copies of PEAR PHP modules.
+    + [ADB] Rework the description for embedded-javascript-library to make
+      it clear that the listed libraries are examples rather than an
+      exclusive list.  Also fix a spelling mistake.
+    + [ADB] Re-add an accidentally removed slash to the check for embedded

+      for a prefixed App(lication)s.
+  * checks/scripts:
+    + [FL] Change all regular expressions in depends_needed to
+      require spaces after the command and not \b. There are
+      very few cases where this would produce false negatives
+      but there are reported false positives for the current
+      expressions.
+    + [RA] Improve the check for possibly insecure /tmp files to check
+      variable assignment as well and reduce false positives by ignoring
+      uses with $RANDOM or without a filename.  Based on a patch from
+      Raphael Geissert.
+    + [FL] Update lists of available interpreter versions (remove: jruby1.1,

+
+  * doc/lintian.sgml:
+    + [FL] Document wildcard support in overrides.
+
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [RA] Ensure we close the pipe to lintian-info before exiting, since
+      otherwise lintian-info may print the rest of our output after
+      lintian exits, producing confusing output interleaved with the
+      shell prompt.  (Closes: #496295)
+    + [FL] Actually make package version available to output formatters.
+      Currently used only by experimental colon-separated output.
+    + [FL] Use new module Lintian::Schedule and make package architecture
+      available to output formatters if possible.

+  * lib/Tags/ColonSeparated.pm:

+      for humans:
+      - Update the format to include the new severity/certainty info.
+      - Include information whether the tag is experimental.
+      - Move the detailed override info to the end but include info
+        flag about the override status in the same column that also
+        includes the experimental flag info.
+  * lib/Lintian/Schedule.pm:
+    + [FL] Factor out some scheduling code.
+  * lib/Lintian/Data.pm:
+    + [FL] Extend Lintian::Data to handle key/value pairs.  Patch by

+
+  * man/lintian.1:
+    + [FL] Document udeb support in description for --packages-file.

+  * checks/shared-libs.{,desc}:

+    + [RA] Use Lintian::Data to load the obsolete package list.
+    + [RA] When checking whether a debug package has proper dependencies,
+      allow a dependency on any package name that starts the same as the

+      fewer false positives.  Thanks, Josselin Mouette.  (Closes: #476587)

+  * checks/standards-version{.desc,}:
+    + [RA] Largely rewritten.  Now contains a list of standards versions
+      with the date when they were released, adding 3.8.0.  Only emit tag
+      out-of-date-standards-version if the newer version predates the date
+      of the package.  Base ancient-standards-version on whether the
+      standards version of the package is more than two years old.  Remove
+      package-declares-source-relation-but-has-older-standards-version;
+      policy 3.1.0 was a long time ago.  (Closes: #472513)

+      1.3.22. Check the depends for that (Closes: #261890)
+    + [FL] Warn about incorrect usage of commas in translated Choices
+      fields. Patch by Denis Barbier after a suggestion by Andreas

+  * checks/debhelper:
+    + [FL] Update list of debhelper scripts that modify maintainer
+      scripts

+      Thanks to Lionel Elie Mamane for reporting.
+    + [FL] Add tclsh8.3 to list of valid interpreters as it is used
+      in at least one package. (Closes: #280080)
+    + [FL] Issue wrong-path-for-{ruby,python} even if the path contained

+      (Closes: #257904)

+  The ``the others must be busy releasing Sarge or something'' release,
+  prepared by yours truly
+
+  * checks/conffiles.desc:
+    + Note the most likely cause for duplicate-conffile in the description
+      (thanks Chris Anderson for running into this problem and asking me
+      about it)
+  * checks/copyright-file:
+    + Revert the extra pedantic check introduced in 1.23.0 that
+      complained about unstrict dependencies when one as a
+      /usr/share/doc/<package> that is a symlink (Closes: #249414)
+  * checks/debconf:
+    + Don't warn when the Choices field of a debconf question is
+      not translated, often it makes no sense to translate it
+      (Closes: #262649)
+  * checks/debhelper:
+    + dh-make also creates sample files named .EX, so make that check
+      case-insensitive (Closes: #251262)
+  * checks/fields.desc:
+    + Adjust package-has-a-duplicate-relation to warning, and note that
+      this sometimes happens to you when using ${shlibs:Depends}, and you
+      shouldn't bother too much if that's the case (Closes: #274286)
+      Thanks Peter Eisentraut for the suggestion
+    + Fix English language depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version,
+      thanks to Peter Eisentrautf for noticing (Closes: #261603)
+    + [FL] Clone depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version as
+      build-depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version to give
+      correct policy reference (Closes: #261602)
+  * checks/init.d:
+    + Don't warn for missing init.d scripts in package and conffile list
+      if a variable is used instead of a real name (Closes: #264218)
+  * checks/manpages.desc:
+    + Demote binary-without-manpage to warning, and adjust description,
+      to be consistent with policy, which says a manpage should be available
+      (and doesn't use "must" for it). Thanks to Robert Millan for his patch
+      (Closes: #271014)
+  * checks/nmu.desc:
+    + Note in source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number's description that
+      the mistake could also be the other way around (Closes: #258604)
+  * checks/po-debconf:
+    + Don't give missing-file-from-potfile-in on empty lines
+      (Thanks Adam Conrad for noticing)
+  * checks/scripts:
+    + The php commandline interpreter is now provided by php4-cli, and
+      not php4-cgi, update dependency check accordingly (Closes: #268077)
+    + Give an error if the 'config' script uses a non-essential
+      interpreter (Closes: #274832)
+  * checks/shared-libraries:

+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + Fix overrides so that they allow all of (1) <package> <type>:,
+      (2) <package>:, and (3) <nothing> as prefix to tags you want to
+      override, and modify documentation accordingly. This used to be buggy

+
+  The ``Now featuring over 500 checks'' release, prepared by the usual
+  suspects.
+
+  * checks/*:
+    + [JvW] Changed from executables to check-plugins
+    + [HE] Drop the misuse of charset when we want to say "encoding".
+      Renamed 2 tests for that:
+      unknown-charset-in-po-file -> unknown-encoding-in-po-file
+      debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-charset ->
+      debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding
+      (Closes: #248194)
+  * checks/binaries:
+    + [FL] Change check for binary-compiled-with-profiling-enabled on
+      hppa to look for _mcount instead of __gmon_start__ since the
+      latter can't be used as an indicator on that arch (Closes: #207063)
+    + [JvW] Exempt ocaml binaries from the 'is the binary stripped?' test,
+      since they cannot be stripped harmlessly. See #256900 (Closes: #252695)
+    + [JvW] Parse the output of file a little bit more strict, and make it
+      consequent across checks (Closes: #257898)
+  * checks/changelog-files{,.desc}:
+    + [HE] New check latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date, comparing
+      the dates of the last 2 changelog entries. (Closes: #111215)
+    + [FL] New tag invalid-date-in-changelog which is issued if
+      latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date encounters a
+      parse error
+  * checks/common-data.pm:
+    + [JvW] Add libgl(u)-dev to list of virtual packages (Closes: #255595)
+    + [JvW] Added amd64 to list of known architectures, as the name has
+      settled and it'll likely enter the archive soonish (Closes: #257503)
+  * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+    + [HE] Introduced new check script. New checks:
+      - build-info-in-binary-control-file-section, triggered
+        by a Build-* field in a binary section (Closes: #94928)
+      - debian-control-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding, stolen from
+        changelog-file (Closes: #247197)
+  * checks/cruft{,.desc}:
+    + [JvW] cvsignore-file-in-source is now info, because it happens so often
+      by upstream, and is only very minor in size
+    + [HE] New check: source-contains-cvs-conflict-copy, triggered by
+      .#file.version files. They are created by cvs when it tries to merge
+      local changes and an update from the repo. (Closes: #246060)
+    + [JvW] Also check for source-contains-svn-conflict-copy (for .r123 and
+      .mine files)
+  * checks/debhelper:
+    + [FL] Avoid Perl warning about undefined values. Noted by JvW.
+  * checks/fields{,.desc}:
+    + [JvW] Added debian-revision-should-not-be-zero, suggested by Adam
+      Conrad
+    + [FL] Downgrade build-depends-without-arch-dep to warning as it's
+      heuristic. Reword explanation. This partly handles #247171.
+    + [JvW] For build-depends-without-arch-dep, fix detection of debhelper
+      usage in clean when used by means of CDBS (combined with above change,
+      now fully closes: #247171)
+    + [HE] Check Build-Depends(-Indep) for virtual packages without a
+      real dependency. Fix based on patch by Steinar H. Gunderson
+      <sgunderson@bigfoot.com>. (Closes: #255593)
+    + [HE] Don't issue virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends
+      if this happens in Suggests. (Closes: #254367)
+    + [FL] Allow whitespace in relations after the version number
+  * checks/huge-usr-share:
+    + [FL] Skip check for packages that don't have usr/share at all
+      (Closes: #247708)
+  * checks/manpages:
+    + [FL] Comment check for no-manpage-in-correct-directory out until
+      I know if it's worth keeping it at all (Closes: #253011)
+      Thanks to Stephen Stafford for pointing this out.
+  * checks/menus:
+    + [FL] Fix regex which checks for update-menus calls (missing
+      whitespace) and allow path before executable name (perhaps this
+      should be another warning, though?) (Closes: #254420)
+    + [FL] Some clean-up and warn that wm-menu-config is deprecated
+      (Closes: #248997)
+    + [FL] Demote executable-in-usr-lib-menu to warning as executables
+      are supported (but seldom used) (Closes: #254498)
+  * checks/menu-format:
+    + [FL] Fix su-to-root checks to cope with the new -X option and
+      improve the option parsing to better handle unknown options
+    + [FL] Allow a comma separated list in the package test. Pointed
+      out by Gerfried Fuchs (Closes: #246507) Change incorrect-package-test
+      to pkg-not-in-package-test which is issued when the package is
+      not in the list. Don't issue menu-command-not-in-package when
+      we have a list.
+    + [FL] Commands for window manager's modules can't be expected
+      to be available as executables, so don't issue
+      menu-command-not-in-package in this case. Thanks to
+      Manoj Srivastava for reporting (Closes: #247805)
+    + [HE] Change menu-command-not-in-package to also look into the standard
+      PATH. (Closes: #255155)
+  * checks/po-debconf:
+    + [JvW] Simply fail if stuff from gettext is missing.
+  * checks/scripts:
+    + [FL] Don't issue executable-not-elf-or-script for files
+      that are named *.exe (Closes: #251075, #255083)
+    + [CW] Add python2.4 as a valid interpreter (Closes: #254482)
+    + [FL] Add ruby1.[68] as valid interpreters, introduce new
+      ruby-script-but-no-ruby-dep error, copied from the python stuff
+    + [FL] Don't issue script-not-executable for menu-methods. There
+      are reasons why they are sometimes not executable (Closes: #250632)
+    + [FL] 'and' and 'or' are no bash keywords (Closes: #194283)
+  * checks/shared-libs:
+    + [FL] Don't report shlib-with-executable-bit and
+      shlib-with-bad-permissions on symbolic links to such files
+    + [JvW] Fix the pic-detection code (Closes: #185816)
+
+  * debian/{control,rules}, frontend/lintian:
+    + [JvW] Insert version number at package build time, no need to commit a
+      change to frontend/lintian on every version number change... Requires
+      sed version 4 at build-time.
+    + [JvW] Start depending on gettext.
+    + [JvW] Start depending on libdigest-md5-perl on woody, for using md5 on
+      files.
+
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [JvW] Partial rewrite: checks are now plugins loaded into lintian,
+      rather than executed as separate executables. Makes it easy to make
+      common functions available, tags are done centrally, etc etc. Should
+      also save quite a number of forks, thus more speedier.
+
+  * lib/Util.pm:
+    + [FL] dpkg supports comments in control files now, handle them
+      correctly
+    + [FL] a space after the colon is not mandatory in dpkg control
+      files
+
+  * man/lintian.1:
+    + [FL] Document new control-file check script
+
+  * reporting/harness:
+    + [FL] Correctly support udeb packages
+  * reporting/html_reports:
+    + [FL] Correctly support udeb packages
+    + [FL] Remove some unused code for bug references
+  * reporting/bug.status:
+    + [FL] Remove
+
+  * testset/filenames:
+    + [JvW] Fix two lintian warnings in lintian itself by touching files only
+      on clean target, and not distributing them in the source
+
+  * unpack/list-srcpkg:
+    + [FL] Some packages don't specify a standards-version, e.g. d-i ones.
+      Prevent Perl warnings.
+  * unpack/list-udebpkg:
+    + [FL] Fix sort of copy & paste error which caused the whole
+      script to behave ill
+  * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l2:
+    + [FL] While fixing permissions, also enable write access
+      so we get no problems on removal. Disable group write
+      permissions, we need nobody to interfere with us.

+
+  * checks/binaries:
+    + [JvW] Ignore static binaries in /usr/lib/debug
+  * checks/changelog-file:
+    + [HE] Check for the debmake template email address in the changelog
+      entries. Patch by Steffen Moeller <moeller@pzr.uni-rostock.de>,
+      thanks! (Closes: #199903)
+    + [JvW] Loosen up checks for -0.x versions, could be either native or
+      upstream + Debian revision, so some tests cannot be performed because of
+      that uncertainty
+  * checks/copyright-file:
+    + [HE] Change usr-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package check to throw an
+      error when a package doesn't depend on the *same* version of the
+      package its /usr/share/doc/$foo dir is symlinked to. This is supposed
+      to ensure that both come from the same source and the same source
+      version. (Closes: #201470)
+  * checks/cruft.desc:
+    + [HE] Reworded some parts and bumped the Standards-Version after
+      checking for changes. (Closes: #235735)

+      skipped questions. (Closes: #149451)
+  * checks/debdiff:
+    + [HE] Check for accidental native packaging. This is done by checking for
+      a dash in the version number (though -0.\d+ and -0.\d+.\d+ are allowed
+      for (binary) NMUs) and the existence of a .diff.gz. (Closes: #216327)
+    + [JvW] Implement source-tar-is-posix-tar, which checks for upstream
+      tarballs that are tar --posix tarballs, which cannot be untarred by the
+      tar version in woody (Closes: #245138)
+  * checks/debhelper{,.desc}:

+      Moeller <moeller@pzr.uni-rostock.de>, thanks!
+  * checks/deb-format:
+    + [HE] Add a check for the data member of a deb. dpkg 1.11 introduces
+      support for configurable compression algorithms (bzip2, for example),
+      but this shouldn't be allowed before dpkg 1.11 hits stable.
+      (Closes: #159874)
+  * checks/fields:

+      - duplicate relations checking now works for different fields, too
+        (Closes: #234978, #235356)

+      I proposed in #214231. (Closes: #242484)
+    + [JvW] Check for well-formed Debian-revision

+  * checks/fields.desc:

+    + [FL] Warn about ancient files with the value of
+      Dinstall::CutOffPastYear from dak CVS as limit.
+      (Closes: #204801, #218304)
+    + [HE] Check for *.ali files introduced, warn if their permissions are !=
+      0444. (Closes: #226879)
+    + [HE] New checks for deprecated X11 dirs (/usr/{bin,lib,include}/X11 and
+      usr/X11R6/*). (Closes: #81004)
+    + [HE] Check for README for other distributions/platforms and warn if
+      they're installed. Based on patch by Jay Bonci. (Closes: #178441)
+  * checks/init.d:
+    + [FL] output-of-updaterc.d-not-redirected-to-dev-null should be
+      only an info tag since it is more an aesthetical issue, not a
+      policy violation. (Closes: #149700)
+  * checks/lintian.desc:
+    + [JvW] Added missing Type: tags
+  * checks/manpages:
+    + [FL] New checks:
+       - Section number of directory and file differ
+       - Section number of file differs from what is expected
+         from the location of the binary. (Closes: #203831)
+    + [FL] Parse contents of man page and implement more new checks:
+      - Section number of file and header differ (Closes: #89488)
+      - Try to search for hyphens that should be minus signs
+        (Closes: #205924). First patch by Eduard Bloch, final
+        regex by Josip Rodin.
+      - Search for FSSTND directories referenced in man pages. Only
+        an info tag. (Closes: #111098)
+    + [FL, HE] Fix false positives of
+      manpage-for-non-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory when a link
+      from a normal bin/ is pointing to a binary in an X11 dir. Based
+      on patch by FL. (Closes: #203389)
+    + [JvW] x11-games-should-be-in-usr-games is now error, because it's
+      mandated by policy
+  * checks/menus:
+    + [JvW] Stricter checking for whether update-menus is actually called
+      (Closes: #244628)
+  * checks/menu-format:

+    + [HE] Check if the command given with command= is in the package
+      (Closes: #199346)
+  * checks/nmu{,desc}:
+    + [JvW] New series of checks: Check whether NMU's have correct NMU version
+      number, and whether maintainer uploads have correct maintainer version.
+      Also, check whether NMU's and QA uploads are identified as such in the
+      changelog (Closes: #111948)
+  * checks/scripts:
+    + [FL] Add /usr/bin/php as valid interpreter. (Closes: #239115)
+      Thanks to Peter Eisentraut for pointing this change out
+    + [FL] Reflect new suidperl handling. /usr/bin/suidperl

+      (Closes: #240806)
+    + [HE] Don't warn about files with a shebang line which are not executable
+      when they are called *in, as they're probably just templates. (Closes:
+      #114740)
+  * checks/shared-libs:
+    + [HE] Add some new logic to cope with symlinks from /usr/lib to another
+      dir to fix false positives of postrm-has-useless-call-to-ldconfig and
+      friends. (Closes: #190714)
+    + [HE] Also handle case statements in postrm scripts. (Closes: #179435)

+    + [JvW] Also emit warning if standards version is 3.6.0, and not yet 3.6.1
+
+  * collection/diffstat

+      before trying to get the file.
+  * collection/override-file:
+    + [FL] add support for source overrides (Closes: #129510)
+      See the User Manual for more information.
+  * collection/source-control-file:
+    + [FL] New collection script to extract field information
+      from debian/control in source packages. Currently used
+      in checks/debhelper to guess udeb packages.

+  * doc/lintian.sgml:
+    + [FL] Some updates, some more verbatim explanations

+    + [FL] Reworked the override section to handle udeb and
+      source packages, too
+  * doc/README:
+    + [FL] Update options
+
+  * frontend/lintian:
+    + [HE] Added a --dont-check-parts|-X option to allow users to specify

+  * frontend/lintian-info:
+    + [JvW] Fixed that lintian -I also displays info for I: entries
+
+  * lib/Dep.pm:
+    + [FL] Fixed some semantic errors (since no one ever observed the
+      corresponding perl warnings the fixed parts are probably never
+      used in the current code)
+  * lib/Utils.pm
+    + [HE] Changed {read,parse}_dpkg_control a bit to cope with the fact
+      that template files sometimes contain lines consisting only of
+      whitespace which do *not* separate to blocks. (Closes: #242479)
+
+  * testset/runtests:
+    + [JvW] Rewrote so that it is actually useful:
+      - sort output to nullify filesystem directory ordering differences
+      - run lintian just once
+      - check that all tests that are triggered have a description, if verbose
+        specified, warn about tests that are not tested

+
+  * debian/control:

+
+  * man/lintian.1:

+      versioned depend (Closes: #216536)
+    + [FL] Remove the build-depends-without-arch-dep check. It produces

+  * checks/files:

+      modified)
+  * checks/scripts:
+    + [FL] Fix check for "exec ..." line. Fix suggested by Josip Rodin.
+      (Closes: #212811)
+    + [JvW] Tighten up mknod, dpkg --print-architecture and killall detection

+  * (lib/pipeline.pl) Bugfix: Use syscall SYS_exit when exiting from
+    children that failed to exec, because the perl function exit() would
+    run END blocks and such.
+
+  * (checks/standards-version) By now, 2.2.0.0 is more than one year old;

+
+  * (reporting/html_reports) Bugfix: Apply quotehtml() to the tag text
+    *before* adding links to bug pages.
+
+  * Many small adjustments to checks:
+  * (checks/scripts) Be less picky about package names when checking
+    dependencies.  (The check was confused by the package blt4.2)
+  * (checks/description) Ignore case when looking for synopsis lines
+    that start with the package name.
+  * (checks/files) Don't give executable-in-usr-doc error for executables
+    in /usr/doc/examples/, since that directory does contain examples, and
+    it's already flagged by old-style-example-dir.
+  * (checks/control-files) Don't warn about references to "/tmp" unless the
+    full filename is "/tmp" or "/var/tmp".
+  * (checks/binaries) Split tag "binary-not-linked-against-libc" into
+    "program" and "library" tags.
+  * (checks/files, checks/scripts) New tag "executable-manpage", which
+    replaces "executable-not-elf-or-script" for manpages.
+  * (checks/files) Shortened file-directly-in-usr-share-not-in-a-sub-directory
+    and file-directly-in-usr-doc-not-in-a-sub-directory to just
+    file-directly-in-usr-share and file-directly-in-usr-doc.
+  * (checks/md5sums) Added md5sums-control-file-is-empty tag, to avoid
+    spewing many file-missing-in-md5sums errors in that case.
+  * (checks/scripts) Suppress interpreter-not-absolute tag if the
+    filename ends in .in and the interpreter looks like #!@PERL@
+  * (checks/control-files) Suppress mknod-in-maintainer-script tag if
+    mknod was called with -p.
+  * (checks/shared-libs) Emit no-shlibs-control-file tag for each shared lib
+    found, rather than just once.
+  * (checks/files) Emit old-style-example-dir only for directories, not for
+    every file.
+  * (checks/perl) perl-script-needs-dependency
+    Bugfix: realize that a package does not need to depend on itself.
+  * (checks/description) possible-unindented-list-in-extended-description:
+    Only emit this tag if there are at least two things that look like
+    list items.
+  * (checks/scripts) List /usr/bin/env as a known interpreter.
+  * (checks/binaries) unstripped-binary-or-object:
+    Instead of an exception for /lib/modules specifically, suppress this
+    tag for all .o files.
+  * (checks/control-files) Bugfix: check for == bashism works now.
+  * (checks/files) Introduced new tag lengthy-symlink, which supersedes
+    and corrects the relative-symlink-enters-same-toplevel-directory tag.
+
+  * (man/lintian.1) Document the check and collection scripts added to
+    lintian in the last few months. (oops)

+
+  * (frontend/lintian)
+    Saner interrupt handling.  Lintian now dies immediately if ^C is hit,
+    and does remove the temporary lab (if any).  This is mostly a side
+    effect of avoiding system() (in favour of the new functions in
+    lib/pipeline.pl), but did involve some tinkering about with perl's

+    Allow binary-not-linked-against-libc for libc itself :-)
+
+  * (lib/pipeline.pl)
+    New helper functions for starting pipelines from perl scripts, without
+    involving the shell.  This makes it easier to pass filenames literally,
+    and often saves a shell invocation.
+  * (collection/diffstat, frontend/lintian, unpack/*)
+    Use the new pipeline functions.

+      This closes bug#21390, reported by Gregory S. Stark <gsstark@mit.edu>.
+    - Instead of listing the lintian-info text with every different tag
+      in every package, make every tag a link to the page for that tag
+      (which will have the lintian-info for it at the top).
+      This should make the reports a lot smaller, and also more readable.

+lintian (0.4.6) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * (debian/control)
+    Lintian now depends on perl, since perl-base is not enough. It already
+    uses Text::Wrap, which is only in perl, and soon it will also use
+    Getopt::Long.
+
+  * (reporting/html_reports)
+    Report all dates in GMT, in rfc822 format.
+
+  * (debian/rules)
+    In clean target, delete byte-compiled python files (*.pyc) as well.
+
+  * (depcheck/dependencies.py)
+    Check "Cannot satisfy without packages in base" before checking
+    "Cannot satisfy with required packages", because a dependency will
+    be listed in only one category, and the former is more important
+    to flag.
+
+  * (frontend/lintian)
+    Rewrote option handling to use Getopt::Long, thus allowing nifty
+    features like bundling of single-character options.  Closes wishlist
+    bug#22566.

+lintian (0.4.5) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * (depcheck/) New directory, containing scripts for generating reports
+    about broken dependency relationships in the main distribution.
+    These are not installed by the lintian deb, they are intended for
+    use by the lintian web pages, which use the source package directly.
+  * (reports/harness) Added hooks to call the depcheck scripts to generate
+    the depcheck page.
+  * (reports/html_reports) Add links from the lintian root page to the
+    depcheck page.
+
+  * (checks/menus) A tag was still generating "existance" while its
+    description had been corrected to "existence"; the html report
+    generator complained about that.  Fixed.
+
+  * (unpack/list-binpkg) Bugfix in lintian --setup-lab.  Instead of
+    looking for files in binary-$arch and binary-all, look only in
+    binary-$arch and follow the symlinks.
+
+  * (lib/text_utils.pl) Changed "&maint;" name from Christian Schwarz
+    to Richard Braakman, and changed mail address to lintian-maint@debian.org.
+
+  * (checks/standards-version) If checking a package with a Standards-Version
+    that is newer than the one lintian is written for, warn that lintian
+    should be upgraded.  (closes: #22919).
+  * (checks/standards-version.dsc)
+    New tag: newer-standards-version
+
+  * (checks/debian-readme) New check: at James Troup's suggestion,
+    scan for unmodified deb-make templates in README.Debian files.
+    New tags:
+      readme-debian-is-debmake-template
+      readme-debian-contains-debmake-template
+  * (checks/debian-readme.desc) Describe new tags.
+  * (collection/debian-readme) New collection script for README.Debian file.
+  * (man/lintian.1) Describe new check and collection script.
+
+  * (doc/libtool-rpath-workaround.txt) Explain how to achieve the same
+    result without touching configure.in and rerunning autoconf, provided
+    certain conditions hold.
+
+  * (lib/text_utils.pl, frontend/lintian-info, reporting/html_reports)
+    Do not split words that are longer than a line.  This fixes the
+    "Poli cy" bug in the lintian HTML reports.
+
+  * (checks/standards-version.desc) Corrected the URL to Christian's
+    policy upgrading checklist, which seems to have changed from
+    "upgrading.html" to "upgrading-checklist.html".
+
+  * (info/override) Removed another *.pm warning, I missed it the last time.

+lintian (0.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * (checks/scripts) Suppress script-not-executable warnings for files
+    in /usr/lib that match *.pm.  These are perl modules, which often
+    have a #!/usr/bin/perl line at the top but are not intended to be
+    executed directly.
+  * (info/override) Removed now-suppressed warnings from the overrides file.
+
+  * (info/override) Added more overrides.  (closes #21028).
+
+  * (checks/scripts) At Oliver Elphick's suggestion, do not emit
+    *-script-but-no-*-dep tags or csh-considered-harmful tags for
+    scripts that are not executable.  (These already produce a
+    script-not-executable warning).
+
+  * (checks/binaries) At Yann Dirson's suggestion, added a tag for
+    stripped binaries that still have the .comment and .note sections.
+    This tag is info-level, thus not normally displayed.
+    dh_strip and install -s have been patched to strip these sections,
+    but most of the distribution has not been recompiled with the patched
+    versions.
+  * (checks/binaries.desc) Described the new tag.
+    (closes #22495).
+
+  * (man/lintian.1) Documented the options that were added in lintian 0.4.3.
+
+  * (checks/fields) Produce informational tags no-section-field and
+    no-priority-field.  These were removed in a previous version, because
+    nearly all packages do not pass -isp to dpkg-gencontrol when building
+    packages, but the new handling of info-level tags makes them useful again.

+  * Ran ispell over .desc files, fixing lots of typos, including the
+    word "existance" which occurs in several tags.
+  * checks/files: At the advice of the python maintainer, added a warning
+    against files installed in /usr/lib/python1.5 that are not in the
+    site-packages subdirectory.  (closes #22236)
+  * checks/fields: Reduced unknown-field-in-dsc and unknown-field-in-control

+    introduced deliberately anyway.  ("info" tags are not normally reported,
+    but can be queried when someone is interested.)  (closes #20521)

+lintian (0.4.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Changes which make it possible to check the whole archive with Lintian
+    each day without having to check all packages all the time:
+    - Reworked creation and handling of info/{binary,source}-packages files:
+      - the list files contain a version number now, which allows checking
+        for old file formats
+      - each entry has a timestamp now
+      - don't remove $LAB/info/ directory on --setup-lab
+      - just process changed packages when doing --setup-lab
+    - added command line option: `-p X' makes lintian only process all
+      packages which are listed in file X
+    - changed meaning of command line option `-U': specifies info to
+      collect _in addition to_ the usual info (necessary to extract
+      the changelog files on master--see below)
+
+  * Improved `binaries' check:
+    - objects and binaries in a *-dbg package may be unstripped
+    - libraries in lib/profile or lib/debug may not be stripped
+      (suggested by Fabrizio)
+    [1 new tag]

+
+  * Improved `description' check:

+      (thanks to Roderick Schertler)
+
+  * Fixed `fields' check:

+      and maintainer script

+      of update-menus; same for install-docs

+lintian (0.3.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * This is (intentionally) an `unstable' upload--we've decided to not
+    include the lintian package in `frozen' since it doesn't make sense to
+    maintain a `stable' and `unstable' version of a package in such an
+    early state. The maintainers should get Lintian from the `unstable'
+    distribution to check `frozen' uploads though.
+
+  * Added `menus' check. This check checks for common mistakes WRT

+  * Fixed `binaries' check:

+      to handle files without info text correctly

+    - mention in tag info that shared libs should be stripped with

+      alarms WRT update-rc.d calls)

+lintian (0.3.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Lintian now also works without a configuration file and without
+    a static laboratory!  (Since Lintian is so easy to use now, there
+    are no excuses for not using it! ;-)
+
+  * Changed handling of lab:
+      - if no lab is specified, it is created dynamically by the
+        `lintian' command (the average use does not have to worry
+        about the lab anymore)
+      - since the dynamically created lab is placed in /tmp, several
+        users can run lintian at the same time without having to know
+        of each other
+      - the commands `lintian-setup' and `lintian-remove' have been
+        removed (fixes: bug#18707).
+      - a `static' laboratory can be created/updated or removed by
+        specifying the `--setup-lab' or `--remove-lab' options for the
+        `lintian' command
+      - added a lot of sanity checks to make removal of lab less risky :)
+
+  * Changed handling of configuration file:
+      - configuration file is not necessary anymore
+      - changed search path for the configuration file to:
+          $LINTIAN_CFG/lintianrc
+          $LINTIAN_ROOT/lintianrc
+          $HOME/.lintianrc
+          /etc/lintianrc
+      - all configuration variables have reasonable defaults and can
+        be overwritten by environment variables of the same name
+      - removed configuration file /etc/lintianrc--the file is now
+        installed as /usr/doc/lintian/lintianrc.example
+      - renamed all configuration variables to LINTIAN_xxxx
+      - relaxed syntax of configuration file. It's now also possible
+        to use `~' and `$HOME' in the configuration file (fixes:
+        bug#18559)
+      - added LINTIAN_ARCH configuration variable so that Lintian
+        handles distribution directories correctly if these contain
+        several architectures
+
+  * Changed parsing of command line arguments:
+      - if a package name is specified (instead of a file), look for
+        this package in the distribution directory and in the lab (in
+        earlier version, only the distribution directory was searched
+        for packages)
+      - added `--all' option to check the whole distribution
+        (in earlier version, this was the default operation)
+      - removed buggy `-n' command line option (this option wasn't
+        really useful anyways)
+      - the `-h' option displays a short description of all available
+        options now
+      - debug option `-d' can be specified several times to increase
+        the verbosity level
+      - recognize `--' as the end of options on the command line
+
+  * Improved overrides handling:
+      - the override files does not include the leading `[EW]:'
+        anymore
+      - the parameters of an error tag may be omitted to disable
+        a certain tag for a whole package
+      - when checking the full distribution, unused overrides are
+        displayed
+      - cleaned up overrides file and added/removed a few overrides
+
+  * Improved documentation:
+      - there is now a `Lintian User's Manual' which explains how to
+        setup and use Lintian to check ones packages, and which gives
+        insight on the design issues behind Lintian
+      - added a manual page for lintian-info (has been split off
+        from lintian(1))
+      - updated the documentation files and the example lintianrc file
+      - merged QUICKSTART file into the README
+
+  * Improved `binaries' check: check if a binary or shared library
+    defines RPATH
+    (Thanks to Ray Dassen for the suggestion! fixes: bug#18519)
+    New tag:
+      binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath
+
+  * Improved `files' check:
+     WRT symbolic links:
+      - issue errors instead of warnings
+      - links between different top-level directories should always be
+        absolute
+      - check for relative links which contain to many `../' segments
+      - check for symbolic links which contain segments like `foo/../bar'
+        (Thanks to Manoj for the patch and the ideas!)
+     general:
+      - some additional checks for wrong file permissions
+    New tags:
+      symlink-has-too-many-up-segments
+      relative-symlink-enters-same-toplevel-directory
+      symlink-contains-up-and-down-segments
+      bad-permissions-for-etc-cron.d-script (renamed)
+      bad-permissions-for-etc-emacs-script
+      executable-in-usr-lib-sgml
+
+  * Fixed `control-files' check: check file permissions correctly;
+    also check file owners of control files
+    New tag:
+      control-file-has-bad-owner
+
+  * Fixed `copyright' check: check for package dependencies correctly
+    (fixes: bug#18611)
+
+  * Improved `conffiles' check: files in /var/lib/games should not be
+    tagged as conffile, in general.
+    New tag:
+      score-file-may-not-be-conffile
+
+  * Improved `manpages' check: files in /usr/X11R6/man/man6 usually
+    indicate X11 games in the wrong directory.
+    New tag:
+      x11-games-should-be-in-usr-games
+
+  * Fixed `init.d' check: skip comments in init.d file
+    (Thanks to Joey for pointing this out!)
+
+      - don't collect info for unselected collector scripts (internal bug)
+
+  * Internal changes:
+      - don't refer to package `ftp.debian.org' for bugs in the
+        $LINTIAN_DIST directory--refer to package `general' instead
+      - made list-binpkg and list-srcpkg more verbose
+      - made lintian-info less verbose (don't give detailed info more
+        than once)
+      - create control-index file which lists all files in control.tar.gz
+      - fix permissions in the lab after a package has been unpacked
+      - chdir to lab dir before running the checker and collection
+        scripts (this makes it easier to write checks in awk or even sh)
+      - pass vars to helpers via environment
+      - don't link static info/* files into lab
+      - implemented dpkg_read_control to parse all controls
+      - don't use dpkg-deb to get control information about a .deb
+      - collection and checking scripts `registry' is now done dynamically
+      - move tag descriptions from collector and checker scripts into
+        separate `.desc' files
+      - each base directory in the lab has a .lintian-status file now, which
+        can be used to detect incompatible lab changes, for example
+      - moved unused files and internal documents into a private/ directory
+        of the source package
+      - cleaned up code

+
+lintian (0.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added `fields' check for control fields. (That's the first check
+    written by Richard--and it's all Perl!!! ;-)
+    [32 new tags]
+
+  * Added `binaries' check.
+    [6 new tags]
+
+  * Improved `shared-libraries' check:
+      - use objdump instead of ldd and ldconfig
+      - this should fix all problems where Lintian couldn't check
+        python/perl dynamic objects, etc.
+      - allow cross-checking of packages, e.g., to check non-i386 .debs
+        on an i386 system (note, that this requires a multi-arch objdump)
+      - recognize if the shared library uses its SONAME
+    New tag:
+      shared-library-uses-its-soname
+
+  * Improved `control-files' check:
+      - Don't check the `control' control file for correct
+        permissions, because dpkg doesn't care and this file isn't
+        installed on the systems anyways
+
+  * Improved `files' check:
+      - Games are allowed to be setgid games
+      - svgalib programs are allowed to be setuid root
+      - usually, files in /usr/doc/foo should not be executable
+    New tag:
+      executable-in-usr-doc
+
+  * Fix bug in `manpages' check: symlinks in /usr/bin, etc. also need
+    a manual page! (Thanks to Joey Hess for pointing this out!)
+
+  * Use `.' instead of `source' in lintian-{remove,setup} /bin/sh scripts
+    (fixes bug#18421)
+
+  * Define default values for configuration variables in
+    lintian-{remove,setup} scripts (fixes bug#18354)
+
+  * Fix bug in `copyright-file' check: Don't report
+    usr-doc-symlink-to-foreign-package if we don't know whether the
+    referenced package comes from the same source or not.
+    (Thanks to James A. Treacy for pointing this out!)
+
+  * Internal change:
+      - process source packages before binary packages so that a binary
+        package check can use info from the source packages (if these
+        are unpacked, too)
+
+  * Added more override entries--and removed a few obsolete entries
+    (the checks are smarter now! :)
+
+  * Added "Depends: binutils" for `objdump'
+
+  * Changed maintainer email address to lintian-maint@debian.org
+
+ -- Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>  Sat, 21 Feb 1998 22:39:46 +0100
+
+lintian (0.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Fixed manual-pages check: Check for the `undocumented' symbolic
+    link failed on X11 manual pages (fixes #18343).
+
+  * Improved files check. New tag:
+      etc-cron.d-script-tagged-executable
+
+  * Improved control-files check:
+      - the `du' control file is not allowed anymore
+      - check file permissions of control files
+    New tags:
+      control-file-has-bad-permissions
+
+  * Fixed bug: ldd-info collection script stopped when ldd failed
+
+  * Fixed (internal) bugs:
+      - collect data for collection scripts too
+      - don't collect init.d data every time again
+
+  * Error handling code improved again :)
+
+  * The lintian frontend script checks if it has root permissions and
+    aborts if this is the case. (Running it as root is unnecessary and
+    simply too dangerous.)
+
+  * Added one override entry
+
+ -- Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>  Wed, 18 Feb 1998 21:50:16 +0100
+
+lintian (0.2.2) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Fixed bug in lintian-setup: don't try to create $LAB if it already
+    exists (fixes bug#18227, bug#18252)
+
+  * Added "Depends: file" (oops!)
+
+  * Rewrote package "Description:"
+
+  * Added a lot more override entries (thanks to all that told me about
+    overrides!)
+
+ -- Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>  Wed, 18 Feb 1998 12:55:58 +0100
+
+lintian (0.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Fixed bug in ldconfig collection script: script aborted without
+    error message if a shared library had errors (thanks to Kai!)
+
+  * Fixed bug: `standards-version' check didn't collect necessary data
+    (actually, this was a more general bug--thanks to Joey Hess!)
+
+  * Fixed bug: init.d checker script didn't notice if several of the
+    required options (start, stop, etc.) have been included on a single
+    line (thanks to Joey Hess!)
+
+  * Don't check duplicated packages more than once (thanks to Joey Hess!)
+
+  * Error handling code improved once more
+
+  * Added more overrides (Thanks to Joey Hess!)
+
+  * Mentioned Lintian's home page in the README file
+
+  * Set package priority to `optional' (requested by several developers)
+
+ -- Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>  Sun, 15 Feb 1998 11:44:32 +0100
+
+lintian (0.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * First public release
+
+  * Fixed bug in shlibs check: Sometimes, ldconfig doesn't install any
+    symbolic links at all (e.g., for `acroread' package).
+
+  * Changed lintian-setup: Don't remove the whole lab if it already
+    exists--just remove the info/ directory.
+
+  * Changed handling of critical Lintian errors (abort on error)
+
+  * Built package using fakeroot (first time i tried fakeroot--it's great!!)
+
+  * Checked package with latest Lintian :)
+
+ -- Christian Schwarz <schwarz@debian.org>  Sat, 14 Feb 1998 21:49:10 +0100
+
+lintian (0.1.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Next beta release (hopefully the last one :-)
+
+  * The lintian-info script is available now! You can either pipe the output
+    of lintian through it, or specify the `-i' option when calling lintian.
+
+  * Lintian can check .changes files now! New tags:
+      bad-distribution-in-changes-file
+      file-size-mismatch-in-changes-file
+      md5sum-mismatch-in-changes-file
+      bad-section-in-changes-file
+
+  * Lintian now detects if packages have been changed, even if they
+    have the same version number as before.
+
+  * Improved shlibs check (this fixes the "error: bad ldconfig-info file"
+    bug). New tags:
+      ldconfig-symlink-referencing-wrong-file
+      ldconfig-symlink-is-not-a-symlink
+
+  * Improved files check! New tags:
+      package-installs-into-etc-rc.d
+      non-standard-file-permissions-for-etc-init.d-script

+  * New check for /etc/init.d scripts! Tags:

+    have not been handled correctly.
+
+  * Added new override entries
+

+Description: Debian package checker
+ Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy violations. It
+ contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian policy as well as some
+ checks for common errors.
+ .
+ This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian packages for
+ compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer should check packages
+ with this tool before uploading them to the archive.
+ .
+ This version of Lintian is calibrated for Debian Policy version 4.6.2.
