Changes: 
 lintian (1.23.16) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "What's this Russ guy up to?" release
 .
   * checks/binaries{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Add a check for the new "Invalid operation" error from
       objdump -T.  Skip shared-lib-without-dependency-information for
       files in /usr/lib/debug.
   * checks/changelog-file:
     + [FL] Add line number to output of wrong-bug-number-in-closes.
       Inspired by #349761 from Steinar H. Gunderson.
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [FL] Add armeb to %non_standard_archs as requested by
       Martin Michlmayr. (Closes: #350653)
   * checks/debconf:
     + [RA] Packages that depend on dbconfig-common are allowed to have
       config scripts without templates or an explicit debconf dependency.
       Reported by Marcus Better.  (Closes: #344421)
   * checks/debconf.desc:
     + [RA] Clarify the necessary dependencies for packages using SETTITLE.
       (Closes: #349616)
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [RA] Recognize setting DH_COMPAT with := in addition to = in
       debian/rules.  (Closes: #349272)
     + [RA] CDBS sets DH_COMPAT to 4 but doesn't export it.  It does create
       debian/compat with that value if none was present.  Reflect this
       behavior to avoid spurious compat level warnings when using CDBS.
       Based on a patch by Jay Berkenbilt.  (Closes: #350228)
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] Allow a quilt build-dependency for arch-independent packages if
       the quilt makefile rules are included.  (Closes: #349273)
     + [RA] If clean depends on a rule that calls dh_clean rather than
       calling it directly, still allow debhelper in Build-Depends for
       arch-independent packages.  Reported by Michael Stilkerich.
     + [JvW] Commented that Uploaders no longer will hit the multiline field
       issue, updated testsuite accordingly
   * checks/manpages:
     + [FL] Ignore more warnings ("cannot adjust line", "can't break
       line") in non-English manpages. (Closes: #349792)
     + [RA] cd into the parent directory before checking man pages with man
       so that .so inclusions are processed correctly.  Based on a patch by
       Nicolas François.  (Closes: #349614)
   * checks/menu-format:
     + [RA] Look for binaries in /usr/X11R6/bin, not /usr/bin/X11, per
       Policy 11.8.7.  Thanks, Matej Vela.  (Closes: #354890)
   * checks/menu-format.desc:
     + [RA] Use "menu manual" rather than "menu" for references to more
       clearly distinguish from the Debian Menu Policy.  (Closes: #347510)
   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [RA] If there are template files in debian, assume the package uses
       debconf; don't require a dependency or config script.  Patch by
       Thomas Huriaux.  (Closes: #353294)
   * checks/scripts:
     + [RA] Allow /tmp in variable settings.  It's likely to be a false
       positive.  Reported by Frank Küster.  (Closes: #344998)
     + [RA] Make the syntax checking of shell scripts more robust against
       filenames containing shell metacharacters.  Reported by Michael
       Stilkerich.
     + [RA] Add fish and expectk to the list of valid interpreters.
       (Closes: #351624, #353770)
     + [RA] /usr/bin/tcl is provided by tclx8.3, not tcl.  Reported by
       James R. Van Zandt.  (Closes: #351324)
     + [RA] Allow more variations on leading magic to invoke some
       interpreter rather than then shell.  Bypass the ELF magic check for
       scripts using magic that relies on having no leading #! line.
       Reported by Frank Küster.  (Closes: #344269)
     + [JvW] Add check against package suffering from debhelper bug #337664,
       per Joey Hess, which had broken error detection (Closes: #358523)
   * checks/shared-libs:
     + [JvW] Fix postinst-must-call-ldconfig to also get emitted when there is
       no postinst at all, instead of just one lacking a ldconfig call
     + [JvW] Implement checks for "udeb:" lines in shlibs files
       (Closes: #357541)
     + [JvW] Consider also the soname version for shlibs checking, preventing
       some bogus 'duplicate' warnings, and actually throw a warning when
       soname version doesn't match
     + [JvW] Added error when udeb postinst calls ldconfig, that must never
       happen (thanks to Frans Pop for noticing, see #203056)
 .
   * debian/{control,copyright}:
     + [RA] Add Russ Allbery to Uploaders and copyright.
     + [JvW] Version dpkg-dev requirement to >= 1.13.17, for
       unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2
 .
   * frontends/lintian-info:
     + [RA] Avoid Perl uninitialized value warnings when given output that
       looks like lintian messages without tags.  (Closes: #352606)
 .
   * collection/objdump-info:
     + [RA] Pass "Invalid operation" errors from objdump -T on to the check
       scripts instead of failing.  (Closes: #249435)
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RA] Add references to dh_make, debhelper, dpkg-buildpackage, and
       linda in new reference sections.  (Closes: #322288)
   * man/{lintian.1,lintian-info.1}:
     + [RA] Left-justify and disable hyphenation for readability.
 .
   * unpack/unpack-srcpkg-l2:
     + [JvW] Use -q with dpkg-source to surpress warnings about unsigned source
       packages. Requires dpkg-dev 1.13.17
