Changes:

 .
   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - file-name-contains-wildcard-character
       - homepage-for-cran-package-not-canonical
       - init.d-script-needs-depends-on-lsb-base
       - maintscript-includes-maint-script-parameters
     + Removed:
       - hardening-no-stackprotector
 .
   * checks/binaries.{desc,pm}:
     + [NT] Rewrite/embed the necessary bits from hardening-check to
       implement the default hardening-no-* checks directly in lintian.
       This is because hardening-check appears to be losing its
       "home" with the coming removal of hardening-wrapper and
       hardening-includes.  (Closes: #836756)
     + [JW] Remove the hardening-no-stackprotector tag.
     + [NT] Allow "golang-any" as an alternative to "golang-go" in
       Build-Depends for detecting golang binaries.  Thanks to
       Martín Ferrari for the report and the initial patch.
       (Closes: #839228)
   * checks/changelog-file.{desc,pm}:
     + [JW] Bump threshold for improbable bug number to 2000.
   * checks/control-file.{desc,pm}:
     + [JW] Add references to tags related to build profiles.
     + [JW] Relax Build-Profiles syntax check to allow (almost) any
       characters in profile names.  Thanks to Ximin Luo for the bug report.
       (Closes: #839086)
     + [JW] Add support for pkg.<srcpkg>.<anything> build profiles.
   * checks/debhelper.pm:
     + [JW] Ignore comments in debian/rules.
     + [JW] Fix parsing rule targets in lines containing multiple colons.
       Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the bug report.  (Closes: #838246)
     + [CL] Check for .maintscript files that include
       "maint-script-parameters".  (Closes: #838195)
     + [NT] Fix typo that prevented lintian from detecting uses of the
       dhmk build-system.
   * checks/fields.{desc,pm}:
     + [JW] Fix typo.
     + [JW] Add references to tags related to build profiles.
     + [JW] Add support for pkg.<srcpkg>.<anything> build profiles.
     + [JW] Demote tags for build-depends related to build profiles to
       pedantic, as the required packages are available in stable.
       Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the bug report.  (Closes: #831633)
     + [NT] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to tag r-bioc packages not in
       section "gnu-r".  (Closes: #839263)
     + [NT] Apply patch from Dylan Aïssi to tag non-canonical uses of
       the cran homepage in the Homepage field.  (Closes: #839553)
   * checks/files.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL, NT] Tag usages of shell wildcard characters in file names.
       (Closes: #814326)
   * checks/init.d.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL, NT]: Emit a tag for initscripts that source the
       /lib/lsb/init-functions utility functions without declaring the
       corresponding dependency on lsb-base (>= 3.0-6).
       (Closes: #838997)
   * checks/shared-libs.desc:
     + [JW] Fix typos.
   * checks/testsuite.pm:
     + [JW] Apply patch from Sean Whitton to recognise autopkgtest-pkg-elpa
       as a valid value for the Testsuite field.  (Closes: #837801)
 .
   * collection/hardening-info:
     + [NT] Removed.
 .

   * data/spelling/corrections:

 .
   * debian/control:
     + [NT] Drop dependencies on hardening-includes as we no longer need
       hardening-check.
   * debian/copyright:
     + [JW] Add Paul Wise.
     + [JW] Remove now-unneeded separate entry for spellintian.t.
     + [JW] Update copyright years.
