This bug was fixed in the package lintian - 2.137.1ubuntu1
---------------
lintian (2.137.1ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2158782). Remaining changes:
- Fix building udebs, now that in Ubuntu noudebs is implied profile
(LP #1918120)
- d/control: Default to lzip to avoid MIR for plzip
* Dropped changes:
- Add zst as allowed compression for .deb & .udeb (reworked, see below)
- Add AC_INIT in
macro-not-cross-compilation-safe/build-spec/orig/src/configure.ac
(fixed in commit 503fe6d12cb9b6a2f4a4e0a4a380ceee2b25254c)
- Add -fPIC ld flags to
checks/binaries/prerequisites/numpy/binaries-missing-depends-on-numpy-abi
- macro-not-cross-compilation-safe is expecting line one, we added AC_INIT
so it should now match line three (remnant from the AC_INIT change above).
- Ubuntu enables LTO by default, so without-fat-lto-objects is expected to
fail. (patch accepted in Debian)
- changelog-file-news-general, changelog-file-news-version: add custom rules
to install NEWS.Debian manually. debhelper 13.31 trims NEWS entries older
than the main changelog date
- changelog-file-empty-entry: remove extraneous change data from the second
entry so the trailer falls at the line number expected by hints
- min-js-with-sources, cruft-minified-js: add skip files, terser output line
length varies by version
* New tag: unsupported-zstd-deb-archive (disabled on Ubuntu)
* tests(debhelper-dh-runit-but-lacks-breaks-substvar*):
set DH_RUNIT_FORCE_ENABLE=1
lintian (2.137.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* tests (debhelper-arch-depends): Drop d/compat.in and adjust hints
(Fixes autopkgtests on ppc64el and arm64)
lintian (2.137.0) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Nilesh Patra ]
* Summary of tag changes:
+ Added:
- build-depends-on-dh-sysuser
+ Removed:
- standards-version-inconsistent
* Drop tag: standards-version-inconsistent
* Do not emit `incomplete-creative-commons-license` when the text
refers to `/usr/share/common-licenses` as CC licenses have been
added to base-files (See #1139561 and #1136090)
* Do not flag autopkgtests which have d/t/control along with
`Testsuite` in d/control as superficial (Closes: #1033103)

experimental level to 15 (Closes: #1140006)
+ Fixup testsuite with default debhelper 14 and hard-code to
lower compat where needed
* Emit "python3-depends-but-no-python3-helper" regardless of
debputy or compat 14 as this might mean a missing helper

`X-DH-Compat` is declared
+ tests (package-uses-x-dh-compat): Adjust to drop FP hint for
no-versioned-dh
* Do not emit "package-uses-dh-runit-but-lacks-breaks-substvar"
when debputy sequencer is used or dh compat is 14 or greater
+ Add test debhelper-dh-runit-but-lacks-breaks-substvar-unrel: to
validate dh-runit-breaks-substvar against dh 14
* d/control: Bump debhelper compatibility level to 14
