Bug#672284: lintian: False positive: no-debian-copyright when packages supply debian/$pkgname.copyright

I’ve had a package with a debian/copyright.in that copied, at build time, the upstream copyright notice at the end. This was deemed acceptable but not nice, and I ended up changing it to doing to in the clean target (so the source package ships both debian/copyright.in and debian/copyright) but this was strictly for tooling/QA. This is, by the way, one of the reasons why I think DEP 5 to be complete nōnsense. It doesn’t fit the Debian model. And yes, it’s completely acceptable to have diverging copyright files between binary packages. bye, //mirabilos -- [17:15:07] Lukas Degener: Kleines Asterix-Latinum für Softwaretechniker: veni, vidi, fixi(t) ;-)

Ah, that makes sense. > What is the proper remedy for your bug, please? Just an entry in the 2.86.0 changelog along the lines of "Add missing dependency on lzip, used to test for broken lzip files in packages." Thanks, Josh

Lzip is used in checks/files/compressed/lz.pm but was never available. More information about that check is in Bug#702545. What is the proper remedy for your bug, please? Kind regards Felix Lechner

Package: lintian Version: 2.86.0 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org lintian 2.86.0 introduces a new dependency on lzip, but does not document that dependency in the changelog. I found commit fa8fd784e98199476b9b1bf4756b87f9b9c26f2e, but that doesn't explain what lintian actually uses lzip for.
