lintian (2.5.53) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  XXX: generate tag summary

  * checks/changes.{pm,desc}:
    + [CL] Ignore DFSG-repacked packages when checking for upstream
      source tarball signatures as they will never match by definition.
    + [CL] Downgrade severity of orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature
      from "E:" to "W:" as many common tools do not make including the
      signatures easy enough right now.  (Closes: #870722)
    + [CL] Expand the explanation of the
      orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature tag to include the location
      of where dpkg-source will look. Thanks to Theodore Ts'o for the
      suggestion.
  * checks/copyright-file.pm:
    + [CL] Address a number of issues in copyright-year-in-future:
      - Prevent false positives in port numbers, email addresses, ISO
        standard numbers and matching specific and general street
        addresses.  (Closes: #869788)
      - Match all violating years in a line, not just the first (eg.
        "2000-2107").
      - Expand testsuite.
  * checks/cruft.desc:
    + [CL] Downgrade severity of file-contains-fixme-placeholder
      tag from "important" (ie. "E:") to "wishlist" (ie. "I:").
      Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for the suggestion.
    + [CL] Apply patch from Alex Muntada (alexm) to use "substr" instead
      of "substring" in mentions-deprecated-usr-lib-perl5-directory's
      description.  (Closes: #871767)
  * checks/debhelper.pm:
    + [CL] Prevent a false positive of
      missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command that can be exposed by
      following the advice for the recently added
      useless-autoreconf-build-depends tag.  (Closes: #869541)
  * checks/debian-readmine.{pm,desc}:
    + [CL] Ensure readme-debian-contains-debmake-template also checks
      for templates "Automatically generated by debmake".
  * checks/fields.pm:
    + [CL] Ensure that python3-foo packages have "Section: python", not
      just python2-foo.  (Closes: #870272)

  * checks/files.pm:
    + [BR] Avoid false positive privacy-breach-generic for legal.xml.

    + [CL] Additionally consider .cljc files as code to avoid false-
      positive codeless-jar warnings.  (Closes: #870649)

      check of type "source".
    + [CL] Check for python-foo without corresponding python3-foo packages
      to assist in Python 2.x deprecation.  (Closes: #870681)
    + [CL] Check for packages that Build-Depend on python-sphinx only.
      (Closes: #870730)
    + [CL] Check for packages that alternatively Build-Depend on the
      Python 2 and Python 3 versions of Sphinx.  (Closes: #870758)

      (Closes: #870822)
