Package: lintian Version: 2.15.0 Severity: normal Looking through the lintian reports for the grub2 source package at
https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-grub-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net.html#grub2 I can see a couple of errors reported as "spelling-error-in-patch-description" which are really not correct. In each case, there's a word at the end of the Subject: line in an upstream patch, and then the same word is used to start the next sentence in the first paragraph of the longer text of the patch description: * debian/patches/mkconfig_ubuntu_distributor.patch Ubuntu Ubuntu (duplicate word) Ubuntu * debian/patches/tests-disable-sercon-in-seabios.patch SeaBIOS SeaBIOS (duplicate word) SeaBIOS This is clearly incorrect - word matching should not cross into new paragraphs/sentences. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-16 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii diffstat 1.62-1 ii dpkg 1.19.7 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.7 ii file 1:5.35-4 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-9 ii gpg 2.2.12-1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.5 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.64-1 ii libcapture-tiny-perl 0.48-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.40-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.41-1+b1 pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.7 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libio-async-perl 0.72-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b4 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-13 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.108-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.30-1 ii liburi-perl 1.76-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.76+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.5-2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.28.1-6 ii t1utils 1.41-3 ii xz-utils 5.2.4-1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b5 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.31.1-16 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.55-1 -- no debconf information
