Package: lintian Version: 2.5.80 Severity: wishlist Control: block 731340 by -1
Hi, Currently, the lintian checks for validity of d/u/metadata are disabled since 2.5.50.4 [1] due to a security problem [2] (CVE-2017-8829), but now we can safety use YAML::XS with the $LoadBlessed option [3]. I wondering if we can re-enable the d/u/metadata checks in lintian using the safety method?
