Hi,
Lintian argues about the word "iff":
I: lynx: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/lynx iff if
But "iff" is a valid English word:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/iff
It's probably no common word, but still a valid word and should not be
reported

glance. So I'm probably used to DUCK reporting it to me.
So IMHO we shouldn't generally warn about upstream URLs not using
HTTPS. We though should do that for Debian hosts where we know that
HTTPS is on or even is redirected to, like e.g. the BTS, Wiki and
Alioth.

reason I could see is disk space on the mirrors, but that's IMHO
neglectable. And I'm saying that as someone who maintains a primary

According to https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc all packaging projects
hosted on Alioth need to be moved away, preferably to Salsa.
This at least affects:

Hi,
I think these (from a build of the just uploaded aptitude 0.8.11-1) are
false positives:
E: aptitude-common: missing-depends-on-sensible-utils
usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/aptitude.mo
E: aptitude-common: missing-depends-on-sensible-utils
nothing else.
(Not sure if there are better criterias for the according whitelist.)
Cloning the bug report accordingly to get at least lintian fixed until
this is fixed in dh-elpa.
Regards, Axel

o the dh_elpa source code again
might reveal some better metrics. Maybe also David Bremner (reincluded
in Cc) might have some more insight with which packages dh-elpa works
and with which it doesn't.

I disagree here, not by numbers, but generally. dh-elpa having
flexibility issues should be a reason to introduce further tiny binary
packages at all. It should be a reason to fix dh-elpa (IMHO). (Hence
my original as well as this bug report.)

Hi,
according to the bugreport https://bugs.debian.org/829100 this tag was
primarily meant to catch too high xz compression settings. Also the
lintian long description seems to be targetted towards that case.
But this tag is also emitted on the rather conservati

Looks good on a first glance, thanks!

Since recently, probably since lintian 2.17.0, lintian bails out as
follows for me:
/usr/share/lintian/checks/pkg-perl/vcs.desc does not have exactly one paragraph

Hi,
lintian on aptitude-robot emits (beyond others) these two tags of which

Because lintian emitted the national-encoding tag for a bunch of

Now lintian complains about that patch:

The patch for this seems trivial:

family name. :-/ (But yeah, it's a common typo and I'm used to it.)

Hey, no problem! Bugs happen. You can't make an omelette without
breaking eggs. (Wo gehobelt wird, da fallen Späne. :-)
I actually stashed that fix in wml for now as the crash at least
showed me that it w

But I'm kinda oldschool, use it since the nineties and still like it,
also because it has an embedded Perl interpreter. I built WAP Wireless

I also can't find it in the DEP3 specification at
