--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.28 Severity: wishlist for(int i=0; i<3; i++) { build package for wheezy-backports run lintian over it sign it push it to the archive sleep 3' realize you forgot to use the -v flag while building } Yes, it has happened me three times already. Fault is on my side, but it would be cool if lintian could somehow detect the package is a backport (maybe dtecting $DISTRO-backports in the changelog) and notice there is only one changelog entry in the resulting .changes. In this case a warning should be issued.

--- Begin Message ---I think this bug can be closed now that backports-changes-missing is a lintian tag (although it's now obsolete, as the -v option is no longer required for a package to be accepted into backports; it's merely "recommended" now)[1][2].
