     + [CL] Warn when packages specify a "Bugs" field in debian/control that
       does not refer to official Debian infrastructure as this can make

   * checks/files.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Warn maintainers about packages that ship pkg-config files under

       Thanks to Helmut Grohne for the idea.  (Closes: #885096)
     + [CL] Warn about packages that ship non-reproducible Python .doctree
       files.  (Closes: #885327)

     + [CL] Also note that unused-override can be triggered if Lintian
       adds/modifies supplementary tag metadata.
   * checks/obsolete-sites.pm:
     + [CL] Ignore commented-out lines to avoid false-positives where the
       maintainer references the old location.  (Closes: #806237)
   * checks/pe.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Check for Microsoft Windows Portable Executable (PE) files that

     + [CL] Use the list of files in the orig tarball (rather than in the
       regular index) to prevent false positives when checking for the
       source-includes-file-in-files-excluded tag when a patch system
       re-adds files that were removed.  (Closes: #884848)
