   * {checks,collection}/*.desc:
     + [RG] Remove Unpack-Level fields and depend on the 'unpacked'
       collection script as needed.
   * checks/binaries:
     + [RG] Recognise hppa64 binaries and ignore them on the
       binary-from-other-architecture check for hppa.
       Thanks, Matthias Klose.  (Closes: #562788)
   * checks/changelog-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Per devref, recommend against NEWS.Debian entries formatted
       with asterisks like changelog entries.
     + [RA] Check that the most recent NEWS.Debian entry is followed by a
       blank line for apt-listchanges.  Thanks, Adeodato Simó.  (Addresses
       the Lintian part of #523436)
     + [RA] Warn if the version of the latest NEWS.Debian entry doesn't
       appear in the changelog.  Thanks, Christoph Berg.  (Closes: #550594)
   * checks/control-file:
     + [RA] Fix parsing of dependencies for weak-library-dev-dependency
       when the content of Depends begins with a newline.  Thanks, Julien
       Cristau.  (Closes: #563370)
   * checks/cruft:
     + [RA] Fix the regex to properly ignore CMakeCache.txt in the debian
       directory.  Thanks, Aaron M. Ucko.  (Closes: #553264)
     + [RA] Check for a non-native package with a native version.  Thanks,
       Andreas Beckmann.
   * checks/debhelper:
     + [RA] Always warn if debhelper is in use but no ${misc:Depends}
       dependency is present rather than checking which specific debhelper
       commands use it.  Any debhelper command may start adding
       dependencies to ${misc:Depends} at any time.  Lower the certainty to
       possible, since a missing ${misc:Depends} may not cause problems.
   * checks/fields.desc:
     + [RA] Fix spelling error in dfsg-version-with-period tag description.
       Thanks, Jakub Wilk.  (Closes: #563185)
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RG] Add a missing 'it' to the description of duplicate-font-file.
     + [RG] Add detection of nusoap to the embedded PHP libraries check.
     + [RG] Check that udev rules are not installed in /etc/udev/rules.d.
       Thanks, Marco d'Itri.  (Closes: #559208)
   * checks/init.d{,.desc}:
     + [RG] Bump severity of init.d-script-sourcing-without-test to serious.
     + [RG] Lower the severity of init.d-script-does-not-provide-itself
       to minor.
     + [RG] Fix a init.d-script-possible-missing-stop false positive when
       stopping on runlevels 2-5.
     + [RG] Mention 'killprocs' in init.d-script-possible-missing-stop's
       description.  Thanks, Kurt Roeckx.  (Closes: #562608)
     + [RG] Warn about init scripts with incomplete start runlevels.
     + [RG] Tighten check for missing dependency on local_fs or remote_fs
       when using files with a name of 'var*' or 'usr*'.
     + [RG] Also recognise the use of the -r test as a file test, and
       the test command when determining whether a /etc/default file is
       being sourced unconditionally.
     + [RG] Correct the description of the
       missing-dependency-on-{remote,local_fs} tags where 'is' was meant
       to be used instead of 'are'.
   * checks/manpages.desc:
     + [RA] Downgrade spelling-error-in-manpage to minor severity.
       (Closes: #563039)
   * checks/patch-systems:
     + [RA] Avoid false positives for patches modifying files in debian/*
       when the parent directory in which the patch was created is named
       debian.  Thanks, Mark Brown.  (Closes: #562875)
 .
   * collection/ar-info:
     + [RA] Skip *.a files that are dangling symlinks and discard error
       output from ar.  Correctly handle file names that contain shell
       metacharacters.
   * collection/unpacked{,.desc}:
     + [RG] New scripts to replace the unpack level 2.
 .
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RG] Deprecate and replace unpack levels with the use of
       collection scripts.
     + [ADB] Remove an unused variable declaration.
 .
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [ADB] Add corrections for "nam" (name) and "nams" (names).
     + [RG] Add some more spelling errors.
     + [RG] Uppercase every character of the correction if every
       character of the original word is too.
     + [RA] Superceded is an acceptable alternative spelling of superseded.
 .
   * man/lintian.1:
     + [RG] Document deprecation of unpack levels.
     + [ADB] Add the new "unpacked" collection script to the list of such
       scripts.
     + [ADB] Correct the documentation of --tags-from-file to indicate that
       the file contains tags to issue, not suppress.
 .
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [RA] Sort the tags so that the maintainer view will group repeated
       instances of the same tag and display extra information in sorted
       order.  (Closes: #563126)
     + [RA] Better handle missing information for packages in the package
       lists and default the package area to main.
   * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
     + [RA] Fix the logic to optionally display the archive area of
       additional package entries under the same source package.
 .
   * unpack/unpack-{src,bin}pkg-l2:
     + [RG] Dropped in favour of collection/unpacked.
