Changes: 
 lintian (1.23.30) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "beating false positives off with a stick" release.
 .
   * checks/common_data.pm:
     + [RA] Add mktemp and sysvinit-utils as known essential packages.
     + [RA] Add Vcs-Mtn and Vcs-Browser to the known source package
       fields.
     + [RA] Add Kernel-Version to known udeb control fields.
   * checks/control-files:
     + [RA] Allow clilibs, but don't try to check the syntax of it yet.
       Thanks, Sebastian Dröge.  (Closes: #378088)
   * checks/copyright-file:
     + [RA] Exclude the Affero General Public License from the check for
       references to the shared GPL copy.  (Closes: #420077)
     + [RA] Replace yet another hand-rolled dependency parser with Dep.
   * checks/cruft{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for svk commit message files.
   * checks/debconf{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Remove the dependency check for SETTITLE since all debconf
       implementations back to oldstable support it.
     + [RA] Reduce the dependency check for error templates to info since
       all debconf implementations back to stable support it.
   * checks/debhelper{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Downgrade the dependency check for dh_python and the Python
       policy to info since all debhelpers back to stable support it.
     + [RA] Downgrade the dependency check for compatibility level V5 to
       info since all debhelpers back to stable support it.
   * checks/fields{.desc,}:
     + [RA] The CDBS Python rules only call pycentral or pysupport during
       the binary targets, so those dependencies can be safely moved to
       Build-Depends-Indep.  Still allow them in Build-Depends, though,
       since that's where CDBS likes to put them.  Thanks, Tristan
       Seligmann.  (Closes: #420526)
     + [RA] Allow the Python core packages themselves to depend on
       python-minimal.
     + [RA] Remove the version constraints for python-central and
       python-support dependencies since stable released with a working
       version and they weren't in oldstable.
     + [RA] Remove the dependency check on dh_installxfonts for the X.Org
       transition since the debhelper released with stable does the right
       thing and this dependency is not useful for backports to oldstable.
     + [RA] Remove the version on the quilt dependency check.  It's not
       worth the effort to maintain a separate version check for oldstable
       backports.  (Closes: #420160)
   * checks/files{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check for svk commit message files.
     + [RA] Don't consider {copying,license}.dtd extra license files; the
       Mozilla suite uses them for non-licenses.  (Closes: #420558)
     + [RA] Use $pkg rather than reading fields/package for the x11-common
       pre-depend check.
     + [RA] Allow x11-common to install /usr/X11R6/bin.
     + [RA] Downgrade the pre-depends on x11-common requirement for
       packages installing into /usr/include/X11 or /usr/lib/X11 to info
       since it's only needed for upgrades from sarge or early etch.
   * checks/md5sums:
     + [RA] Don't warn about a missing md5sums file if the package contains
       nothing for which we would generate an MD5 checksum.  Thanks,
       Andreas Beckmann.  (Closes: #420465)
   * checks/manpages:
     + [RA] Cope with more uses of - in *roff escapes that don't need
       hyphen warnings.
     + [RA] Don't consider a binary an X binary if it's a symlink into
       /etc/X11.  (seyon does something weird but probably legitimate.)
     + [RA] Fix manpage-for-non-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory and
       manpage-for-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory output.  (Closes: #295072)
   * checks/menus{.desc,}:
     + [RA] In doc-base control files, check for Index fields for HTML and
       Info documents and require that each section after the header have a
       Format field.  Thanks, Bernhard R. Link.  (Closes: #419847)
   * checks/rules:
     + [RA] Listing a rule as a dependency of .PHONY is sufficient to mark
       it as present for GNU make and hence sufficient for Policy's
       requirement.  Thanks, Peter Eisentraut.  (Closes: #419446)
   * checks/scripts{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Packages calling update-xmlcatalog must depend on xml-core.
       Also avoid false positives when a package itself provides the
       program its maintainer scripts use.  Thanks, Daniel Leidert.
       (Closes: #419461)
     + [RA] Check for maintainer scripts calling read (but exclude those
       that include /usr/share/debconf/confmodule on the grounds that
       they're probably only using it as a fallback).  Based on a patch by
       Luk Claes.  (Closes: #231770)
     + [RA] Add pike7.6 and ruby1.9 as valid interpreters.
     + [RA] Diagnose use of /bin/env with a more specific message than the
       generic unusual interpreter tag.
     + [RA] Remove the version constraint on the gconf-schemas check since
       all versions of gconf2 back to stable provide this script and it's
       not worth maintaining a separate check for oldstable backports.
   * checks/shared-libs{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Warn if a package declares dependencies in its shlibs control
       file that cannot be satisfied by that package (including via
       Provides).  (Closes: #56440)
 .
   * reporting/harness:
     + [RA] Include overridden tags in the lintian output so that we can do
       statistical reporting on them and see them in lintian.log.
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Create stub pages for maintainers with only lintian-clean
       packages.  (Closes: #305173)
     + [RA] Sort packages on each maintainer's page.
     + [RA] Report statistics on info tags as well.
     + [RA] Generate better file names for maintainer pages with weird
       characters.
     + [RA] Fix Perl warnings.
