N:
N: The version of this package contains dfsg, ds, or debian, which normally
N: indicates that the upstream source has been repackaged to comply with the
N: Debian Free Software Guidelines (or similar reason), but there is no
N: version mangling in the debian/watch file. Since the dfsg string is not
N: part of the upstream version, the debian/watch file should use the
N: dversionmangle option to remove the dfsg before version number comparison.

N: referenced by any files paragraph. It could be a typo in the license name
N: or the license paragraph is simply not needed and can be removed.

I: msc-generator source: unused-override repackaged-source-not-advertised
[debian/source/lintian-overrides:3]
N:
N: Your package specifies the named override but there were no tags that
N: could have been silenced by it.
N:
N: Maybe you fixed an underlying condition but forgot to remove the override.
N: It is also possible that the Lintian maintainers fixed a false positive.
N:
N: If the override is now unused, please remove it.
N:
N: This tag is similar to mismatched-override except there a tag could have
N: been silenced if the context had matched.
N:
N: Sometimes, overrides end up not being used because a tag appears only on
N: some architectures. In that case, overrides can be equipped with an
N: architecture qualifier.
N:
N: Please refer to Architecture specific overrides (Section 2.4.3) in the
N: Lintian User's Manual for details.

P: msc-generator source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 13
N:
N: This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer
N: recommended. Please consider using the recommended level.
N:
N: For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to
N: specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You
N: can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules.
N:
N: If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is
N: deprecated.

P: msc-generator source: upstream-metadata-file-is-missing
N:
N: This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a
N: debian/upstream/metadata file.
N:
N: The Upstream MEtadata GAthered with YAml (UMEGAYA) project is an effort to
N: collect meta-information about upstream projects from any source package.
N: This file is in YAML format and it is used in to feed the data in the
N: UltimateDebianDatabase. For example, it can contains the way the authors
N: want their software be cited in publications and some bibliographic
N: references about the software.
N:
N: Please add a debian/upstream/metadata file.
N:
N: Please refer to https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep12/ and
N: https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata for details.

X: msc-generator source: debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature
[debian/watch]
N:
N: This watch file does not specify a means to verify the upstream tarball
N: using a cryptographic signature.
N:
N: If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the
N: pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL of
N: an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
N: and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
N:
N: Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
N: them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
N: its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
N: suffered from this kind of attack).
N:
N: Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.
N:
N: Visibility: pedantic
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: debian/watch

X: msc-generator source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 592 > 512
[src/libgui/fonts/OpenSans/LICENSE.txt:39]
N:
N: The source file includes a line length that is well beyond the normally
N: human made code line length.
N:
N: This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some
N: source file checks.
N:
N: This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer
N: program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs.
N:
N: Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate
N: the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems.
N:
N: It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments.
N:
N: You may report this issue upstream.
N:
N: Visibility: pedantic
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: files/contents/line-length
N: Renamed from: insane-line-length-in-source-file
N: This tag is experimental.
N:
N: Screen: autotools/long-lines
N: Advocates: "Russ Allbery" <[email protected]>
N: Reason:
N: Upstream sources using autoconf have traditionally been
N: distributed with generated ./configure scripts as well as
N: other third-party m4 macro files such as libtool.
N:
N: When paired with automake, there may also be some intermediate
N: Makefile.in files.
N:
N: A lot of sources potentially contain such files, but they are
N: not actionable by either the Debian distributor or by the
N: upstream maintainer.
N:
N: As a side note, modern Debian build protocols will re-create
N: many of those files via dh_autoreconf. They are present merely
N: to aid in bootstrapping systems where the GNU suite may not yet
N: be available.
N:
N: Read more in Bug#996740.
