Note that neither of these tags are warnings: > P: php-htmlawed source: debian-watch-may-check-gpg-signature > P: php-htmlawed: no-upstream-changelog The level of these is not “warning”. It is lower even than “info”. So it's misleading to refer to those as “warnings”, they are not. Both these tags are at level “pedantic”. From the Lintian man page for the ‘--pedantic’ option: Pedantic tags are Lintian at its most pickiest and include checks for particular Debian packaging styles and checks that many people disagree with. Expect false positives and Lintian tags that you don't consider useful if you use this option. Adding overrides for pedantic tags is probably not worth the effort. Correct the code if you can, and document why (note that “because Lintian said so” is not why, you need to understand the reasoning for the tag and document *that's* what was fixed). If you examine the reasoning and decide it's not something that can reasonably be fixed, don't take any special action to avoid Lintian reporting the tag. E.g., if upstream don't provide GnuPG signatures for release tarballs, you should ask them to do that – but until they do, you don't need to change your Debian packaging. -- \ “I used to be a narrator for bad mimes.” —Steven Wright | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney
