I consider that tag to be quite precise: "Certainty: certain" With regards to library-package-name-for-application and application-in-library-section, I've set "Certainty: possible" and currently expect people to add overrides if the check is wrong: In case the program in $PATH is only a helper tool and the package is primarily a library, please add a lintian override for this tag. But yes, those tests will generate false positives and I currently have no idea how to reduce the amount of false positives noticably. > but as long as they stay at the experimental level I have no > objections :) Of course the idea is that we can remove the experimental flag at some time, hence I'm happy about ideas how to reduce the amount of false positives. > For the other checks, I think > - the severity might be lowered on some of them > (not everything is a horrible error even if we don't want it in the > perl group) Thanks for that hint. I think it especially applies to the check if the Perl Module name is present in the package description. > - the CDBS ones would probably benefit from a review by Jonas > (I tried to pick the correct versions from cdbs' changelog but I > might have been wrong somewhere) Ok, will either not included before Jonas reviewed it or mark it as experimental.
