   * checks/*.desc:
     + [RA] Remove the unused Standards-Version header.
   * checks/changelog-file{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check the latest entry of the Debian changelog and any
       NEWS.Debian file for common spelling errors.  (Closes: #36017)
     + [RA] If this looks like a new package (Debian revision of -1 and
       only one changelog entry), warn if it doesn't close a bug.  Thanks,
       Margarita Manterola.  (Closes: #356051)
     + [RA] Check for lines over 80 columns in the most recent entry.
       Thanks, Guillem Jover.  (Closes: #435963)
   * checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-copyright check to here.
   * checks/debconf:
     + [RA] Go back to not warning about "no" in boolean debconf
       questions.  The word is too common in normal English prose for
       reasons other than assuming a particular debconf interface.  Thanks,
       Rafael Laboissiere.  (Closes: #453177)
   * checks/debian-readme{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-readme-debian check to here.
   * checks/description{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Moved spelling-error-in-description check to here.
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] Python documentation packages should still be in section doc.
       Thanks, Michal Čihař.  (Closes: #454688)
     + [RA] Warn about lib.*-dev packages not in section libdevel.
     + [RA] Warn about debug packages that aren't priority: extra.  Thanks,
       Joerg Jaspert.  (Closes: #454358)
     + [RA] Ignore Original-Maintainer if the version contains ubuntu.
     + [RA] Only warn about Section for Python packages starting with
       python-, not py, since py picks up too many things that aren't
       Python modules.
     + [RA] Only warn about Section for Perl packages matching lib.*-perl
       to avoid false positives for things like dh-make-perl.  Thanks,
       Damyan Ivanov.  (Closes: #454723)
   * checks/files:
     + [RA] Warn about packages providing files in /usr/lib/debug that
       aren't named -dbg.  Thanks, Joerg Jaspert.
   * checks/lintian.desc:
     + [RA] Add bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file, merged from the
       Ubuntu patch.
     + [RA] Fix the malformed-override long description.  Thanks, Stefan
       Fritsch.
   * checks/menus{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Substantial overhaul and expansion of the doc-base control file
       checks.  Patch from Robert Luberda.  (Closes: #448783)
   * checks/nmu:
     + [RA] No packages with ubuntu in the version number are NMUs.  Merged
       from the Ubuntu patch.
   * checks/patch-systems:
     + [RA] Ignore blank lines in 00list and don't report them as patches
       without descriptions.  Thanks, Julien BLACHE.  (Closes: #454730)
   * checks/spelling{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Subsumed into other check scripts and lib/Spelling.pm.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] If the version number indicates an Ubuntu package, check
       against a different list of allowable distributions.  Merged from
       the Ubuntu patch.
     + [RA] Skip check and collection *.desc files whose names start with a
       period (mostly to avoid testing artifacts from editor lock files).
     + [RA] Restore previous override parsing and make the package name
       optional again.  Thanks, Stefan Fritsch.  (Closes: #454790)
     + [RA] Check overrides for implausible tags.
 .
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] New module to do general spelling checks for specific
       misspellings.  Based on the previous checks/spelling and a patch by
       Robert Luberda.
