I deliberately ignore that one (and the previous one about debhelper 7) for ages, not even bothering to run around adding ignore files for it in hundreds of packages, as I believe the underlying reasoning of it to be flawed. Also, what version of lintian produced that one? I believe lintian maintainers have finally dropped it now - or lowered it below default noise level of the tool. > > (But solving debug-package-for-multi-arch-same-pkg-not-coinstallable > > would include bumping debhelper compatibility to 9, though.) I suspect not. But let's see about that... Thanks a lot for your help, Axel. Would you perhaps be interested in joining us in maintaining this package (and others as well)?
