Package: lintian Version: 2.3.4 Severity: wishlist When working with packages not intended for upload to Debian but used with internal repositories to create systems based on Debian, it is still useful to run lintian over the results of dpkg-buildpackage.
Such configurations have non-standard suites and codenames, targeted at our own releases and schedules, and these are included in the .changes files so that reprepro and other tools can handle the .changes files correctly upon local upload. lintian does not appear to accept an override for a bad-distribution-in-changes-file where we need to use "development" instead of "unstable". Please allow lintian to support an override in debian/source.lintian-overrides to clear this warning.
