Hello,
Maintainer of cherrytree here.

Following #1030720, the maintainer reported #1030743 and now I am trying
to package a new upstream version (0.99.55).
This is still an issue. I attempted to override lintian error with
adding the following to debian/source/lintian-overrides:
cherrytree source: source-is-missing [tests/data_данные/test.export.html]
However, it seems that lintian is unable to match these two Unicode
containing strings, thus this override is reported as mismatched. I
think this is a bug in lintian, either the same as #1030743 or a
different one.
I am still facing the same lintian error and tried to understand the
job of SourceMissing.pm.
So my question is why this test data file
(test//data_данные//test.export.html) is considered by lintian? And
would it be also the case (not reported) with some other .html files
in the same sudir?
[file list cut for brevity]
Lintian considers all files in the source distribution. In case of this
particular file it is most likely a very long line length triggers
lintian into thinking this is not a source file. As this file is used
for testing, lintian error is false-positive and should normally be
overridden.
The 'tests' subdir is only used to run a test after the built.
This file is considered by lintian but is not intended to be and is
not part of the produced .deb package.
Right, but source distribution should not contain non-source files. This
is due to "preferable form of modification" requirement in Debian policy.
Best,
Andrius
