Ah, yes, I see.  I've just filed a bug with the details of what needs to
be done.  Thank you!

Sure. Collect all binaries for one source/version and output them en
bloc. You can always find this information in the Source field of the
control file. Each binary which have a different version then the
corresponding source gets it appended, for example binNMUs or the
already mentioned binaries of linux-modules-extra-2.6.

This way you don't mix binary and source versions and also provide the
information you mentioned.

Due to archive pulses happening in the middle of lintian.d.o runs or
archive updates on gluck being slow, we sometimes warned about stuff that
was already fixed.  We broke things out by binary package version so that
it would be easier to tell when Lintian was just behind.

Is there something different that we should be doing that would preserve
that effect without causing problems for this package?

lintian.d.o sorting is weird

[Bastian Blank]

Hi folks

The entries on lintian.d.o are sorted after the source package name and
the binary package version. This means that linux-modules-extra-2.6
currently have 10 entries instead of one.
