--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.75 Severity: normal lintian should warn if the changelog for the current version contains a very short (< 10 characters?) entry. Example from a recent upload: * dh 11 * R³ Suggested tag description: debian/changelog for the current version contains a very short entry. This makes it usually harder to read the changelog. Often the problem is excessive use of abbreviations. Keep in mind that: * Many users will read the changelog through apt-listchanges. * The information in debian/changelog is permanent. It is not uncommon that people read changelog entries that are more than a decade old for understanding why a package works in a specific way. Example for too short entries: * dh 11 * R³ Suggestion how to improve this example: * Switch to debhelper compat 11. * Rules-Requires-Root: no
