How do you start lintian? There are checks for both source (*.dsc) and binary (*.deb) packages and if you give only the source package as an argument, lintian will not check the binary package: $ lintian admesh_0.95-8.dsc [ no output ] $ lintian admesh_0.95-8_amd64.deb E: admesh: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl W: admesh: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 2 W: admesh: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 5 You can also run lintian on the *.changes file to check both source and binary packages at the same time: $ lintian admesh_0.95-8_multi.changes E: admesh: copyright-should-refer-to-common-license-file-for-gpl W: admesh: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 2 W: admesh: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 5 Some less important tags are only shown when you use the -I/--display-info option. You can get an explanation for the tags with either passing -i/--info to lintian or `lintian-info --tags [tag]': $ lintian -iI admesh_0.95-8_multi.changes I: admesh source: debian-watch-file-is-missing N: N: This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a N: debian/watch file.
