+Tag: debian-changelog-line-too-short
+Severity: pedantic
+Check: debian/changelog
+Explanation: The given line of the latest changelog entry appears to contain a
+ very terse entry.
+ .
+ This can make it hard for others to understand the changelog entry.
+ Please keep in mind that:
+ .
+ - It is not uncommon that people read changelog entries that are more
+ than a decade old to understand why a change was made or why a
+ package works in a specific way.
+ - Many users will read the changelog via
+ <code>apt-listchanges(1)</code>
+ - The information in <code>debian/changelog</code> is permanent.
+ .
+ Examples for entries that are too short include "dh 11" or simply
+ "R³" - these could be expanded to, for example:
+ .
+ - Switch to debhelper compat 11.
+ - Set Rules-Requires-Root: no.
