I realized (after sending the mail above) that I had accidentally called "tar -cf --lzma ..." by accident, before I successfully created the .orig.tar.lzma. So there was a file CALLED --lzma in the source tarball or in the working tree (or both). So this sounds like my fault, but in future perhaps lintian should called "file -- foo" instead of just "file foo"? (When I filed the original report, I thought lintian was calling file --lzma instead of file -z or something.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
