flag as a common cause for the debug-file-with-no-debug-symbols tag.

of the getconf(1) interface for LFS support. (Closes: #879935)

the autotools-dev tooling is used in debian/rules.
(Closes: #871711)

warnings on an empty "Section:" field. (Closes: #878515)

correction as it is "acceptable beyond serious criticism".
(Closes: #878457)
.
* debian/control:
+ [NT] Set R³ to "no". Lintian builds fine without root and
Build-Depends on fakeroot for the tests that still require
fakeroot.
.
* doc/lintian.xml, checks/{fields,files,menu-format}.desc, etc.:
+ [CL] Apply patch from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi> to update
a large number of errors in links. (Closes: #878521)

+ [CL] Split out checks for debconf-config-not-executable into a
separate test protected by a Test-Requires now that dpkg >= 1.19.0
will bail out on that condition.
