Package: lintian Version: 2.2.8 While checking the clamav packages (you can grab these from http://people.debian.org/~mt/clamav/) a few warnings where shown; I've repeated the process using -d, which results in the following output:

Please let me know if you need any further input to debug this. Best, Michael
