   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added:
       - debian-watch-uses-insecure-uri
       - django-package-does-not-depend-on-django
       - example-script-uses-deprecated-nodejs-location
       - priority-extra-is-replaced-by-priority-optional
       - python-module-has-overly-generic-name
       - systemd-service-file-wraps-init-script
     + Removed:
       - copyright-year-in-future
 .
   * checks/copyright-file.pm:
     + [CL] Drop copyright-year-in-future after all; it's just too error
       prone and time-consuming to maintain given the severity of the issues
       it can find.  (Closes: #877766)
   * checks/cruft.pm:
     + [CL] Exempt debian/copyright from license-problem-non-free-RFC tag
       to avoid false-positives on meta-references.  (Closes: #877999)
   * checks/debhelper.pm:
     + [AB] Also recognize dh-exec's "=>" arrow if surrounded by tabs.
       (Closes: #877905)
   * checks/fields.{desc,pm}:
     + [NT] Add an info tag for packages that use "Priority: extra".  Thanks
       to Mattia Rizzolo for the suggestion.  (Closes: #870898)
   * checks/files.pm:
     + [CL] Ignore privacy breach violations in comments.  (Closes: #877421)
     + [CL] Check for Python modules with overly generic names such as
       "tests" or "test".  (Closes: #875964)
   * checks/{files,manpages,menu-format}.{desc,pm}:
     + [NT] Stop considering usr/man, usr/X11R6/bin and usr/X11R6/man as
       manpage directories / PATH directories to simplify some code paths.
       Nothing ships manpages in these directories and lintian emits tags
       to strongly discourage people from doing so.
   * checks/init.d.pm:
     + [CL] Avoid warning for init.d-script-not-marked-as-conffile when
       the init.d script does not exist; we will already be alerted via
       the init.d-script-not-included-in-package error.
   * checks/python.pm:
     + [CL] Move to "Type: source, binary" check type.
     + [CL] Also match packages named "python2-*" as relating to Python 2.x.
     + [CL] Warn about Django libraries that do not depend on Django itself.
       (Closes: #877292)
     + [CL] Do not emit python-foo-but-no-python3-foo for -common packages.
   * checks/scripts.desc:
     + [CL] Add missing example-script-uses-deprecated-nodejs-location tag.
       (Closes: #877142)
     + [NT] Apply patch from Mattia Rizzolo to improve the tag description
       for script-uses-deprecated-nodejs-location.
     + [CL] Actually check for a dependency on sensible-utils before
       emitting script-needs-depends-on-sensible-utils.  Thanks to Daniel
       Reichelt for the detailed bug report.  (Closes: #877439)
   * checks/standards-version.desc:
     + [CL] Correct invalid link to upgrading-checklist. Thanks to Dann
       Frazier for the report.  (Closes: #878184)
   * checks/systemd.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Warn if native systemd service files only wrap existing SysV/LSB
       init scripts.  (Closes: #870704)
   * checks/watch-file.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Warn for debian/watch files using insecure URIs such as HTTP or
       FTP, similar to vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri.  (Closes: #849515)
 .
   * data/{common => fields}/priorities:
     + [NT] Rename file.
   * data/fields/essential:
     + [MR] Remove 'mount' from the essential packages.  Starting with
       util-linux version 2.29.2-3 the Essential flag has been removed.
       (Closes: #877511)
   * data/fields/priorities:
     + [NT] Remove "extra".
   * data/files/privacy-breaker-websites:
     + [CL] Replace (eg.) "You may use libjs-prototype package" with "You
       may use the libjs-prototype package".
 .
   * commands/lintian.pm:
     + [NT] Simplify handling of uncaught exceptions.
 .
   * doc/lintian.xml:
     + [NT] Document that the XDG_DATA_HOME directory can be used for
       user profiles and data files.  This has been supported for quite
       a while but the documentation incorrectly listed "$HOME/.lintian"
       instead (which in fact did not work for this purpose).
       (Closes: #701477)
 .
   * frontend/dplint:
     + [NT] Restore "$HOME/.lintian" as a directory that is used for
       user profiles and data files.  It was advertised as such in the
       documentation but the code actually only used the XDG_DATA_HOME
       path.  Thanks to Daniel Kauffman for the report.  (Closes: #875636)
     + [NT] Correct the order of restricted search paths (user directories
       and /etc/lintian).  It incorrectly used /etc/lintian before the
       user directory.
 .
   * lib/Lintian/Util.pm:
     + [NT] Rename the "fail" subroutine to "internal_error" to better
       reflect its purpose.
 .
   * t/tests/binaries-from-other-arch:
     + [NT] Make test architecture specific as it fails on certain
       architectures.  (Closes: #877147)
   * t/tests/python-new-python2-package/*:
     + [CL] Correct Depends of python2.7 → python3 in Python 3 test
       package.
   * t/tests/python-python2-no-python3-unrel/debian/debian/control.in:
     + [CL] Add test for ignoring python-foo-doc packages.
     + [CL] Correct short descriptions of binary packages.
