They still pass tests against current Lintian, after I re-wrap an (unrelated) over-long line in d/changelog that trips a coding style check. The mini-policy change that mandates the same thing checked by the last commit was released in gobject-introspection/1.54.1-4 and has been in buster since late December. Most (all?) GNOME packages already comply with the new mini-policy, so applying these patches would fix many of their false-positives. Thanks, smcv
