Package: lintian Version: 2.21.0 Severity: normal Hi!
Was recently introducing an automatic debug symbol package, and got this lintian warning, which seems just wrong. I think the correct way to go about emitting it would be to: - Check for the m/--(?:ddeb|dbgsym)-migration=/ and extract the version in the argument list (if possible, probably emit if the version cannot be extracted?). - Lookup the closest version in the debian/changelog, and fetch the date for that entry. - Lookup the $name for the current $distro release. - Lookup the initial date for the previous ($name-1) $distro release. - Check whether the changelog entry date is earlier than $name-1 date, and only if so, emit the tag. Thanks, Guillem
