Package: lintian Version: 2.1.0 Severity: normal Hello.
Lintian recently started to produce 'debhelper-but-no-misc-depends' warnings. While it reveal true issues, it also produces false positives in case of data-only packages, which have no 'Depends' field at all. And I can't fix this warnings, because putting 'Depends: ${misc:Depends}' will in 99% of my cases result in empty 'Depends:' line which is Policy violation. I guess this is archive-wide issue, so I am waiting for advice from you (I can just override false positives in all my packages, but I am not very happy with this solution.)
