Package: lintian Version: 2.5.66 Severity: normal The new tag bugs-field-does-not-refer-to-debian-infrastructure added in the most recent version of Lintian is a false positive for non-Debian packages. I have a pile of personal packages that I maintain in a separate archive, but prefer to use all the normal Debian packaging methods and tools. This tag will always be a false positive for those packages since they have:
Bugs: mailto:r...@debian.org I could add an override to every personal package, but that's a little annoying to do. Is there some way that I could tell Lintian that this is a non-Debian package to suppress this tag? That might be a useful general feature to suppress a few other tags too, such as new-package-should-close-itp-bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.29.1-12 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.4 ii file 1:5.32-1 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.33 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.60-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.4 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.96-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.1-3 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.72-2 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.24-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.63-2+b2 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-4 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.1-3 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: pn libperlio-gzip-perl <none> Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.4 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.47-1 -- no debconf information
