When ever a linter changes opinion of something the package will start to FTBFS (just like when gcc gains a new warning and code with -Werror starts to FTBFS). I hope removing `./run-linters` from debian/rules is a simple fix for this issue (and future ones). Run the linters *before* release, not on every (re)build after release. (Or possibly catch this via an autopkgtest that would trigger when a new version of a dependency is uploaded. But I don't think linter package maintainers would appreciate you blocking their package from testing migration until you've uploaded a relinted version of your package.) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
