Hi, The bug (#861958) says it only affects lintian from version 2.5.41 or later. Wheezy has 2.5.10.4 and thus unaffected. Even Wheezy-backports at 2.5.30 should be fine (only -sloppy is affected). IOW, I think there is nothing for either of us to do (except update the metadata about CVE-2017-8829). :) Thanks, ~Niels
