 .
   * checks/changelog-file.pm:
     + [FL] Fix version parsing for hyphen in upstream versions.
   * checks/cruft.pm:
     + [CL] Avoid a false-positive reported by Theppitak Karoonboonyanan
       when matching autotools-pkg-config-macro-not-cross-compilation-safe
       by skipping comment lines.  (Closes: #886297)
     + [FL] Fix version parsing for native packages.
   * checks/control-file.{desc.pm}:
     + [CL] Check for packages that should specify Rules-Require-Root.
       (Closes: #886479)
   * checks/debconf.pm:
     + [CL] Don't warn about unknown template type "entropy" when a package
       depends on cdebconf.  (Closes: #677870)
   * checks/debhelper.{desc,pm}:
     + [CL] Add a check for packages that specify "dh --with quilt" but use
       the "3.0 (quilt)" source format. Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the
       idea.  (Closes: #886566)
   * checks/fields.pm:
     + [CL] Warn about orphaned packages that are not maintained in the
       Debian infrastucture.  (Closes: #886057)
     + [CL] Emit pedantic warnings for packages that refer to a non-Git
       version control systems hosted in the Debian infrastructure for the
       upcoming salsa.debian.org migration.  (Closes: #885974)
     + [CL] Include the offending "Bugs" field value in the output of the
       bugs-field-does-not-refer-to-debian-infrastructure tag.
     + [CL] Ensure that bugs-field-does-not-refer-to-debian-infrastructure
       can be overridden by not emitting them for -dbgsym packages. Thanks
       to Thorsten Glaser for the report.  (Closes: #886426)
   * checks/huge-usr-share.pm:
     + [CL] Bump arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share thresholds; they were
       last set in 2004.  (Closes: #648755)
   * checks/pe.pm:
     + [CL] Apply a patch from Stephen Kitt to avoid false-positives when
       checking PE32+ Windows Portable Executable files, additionally
       dropping the now-unnecessary magic number parsing.  (Closes: #886555)
   * checks/python.{pm,desc}:
     + [CL] Don't warn about django-package-does-not-depend-on-django for
       -doc packages, etc.
     + [CL] Lower the severity of the
       "dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life" tag from normal
       ("W:") to wishlist ("I:") as it is not necessarily actionable by the
       maintainer. This reverts bug #883581.  (Closes: #886259)
     + [CL] When checking for a Python 3 variant of a Python 2.x package
       also consider any package that declares a binary dependency on the
       ${python3:Depends} substvar to catch packages that have been renamed.
       Thanks to Scott Kitterman for the report.  (Closes: #886303)
   * checks/rules.pm:
     + [CL] Also allow $(overridden_command) when checking for the
       override_dh_fixperms-does-not-call-dh_fixperms etc. tags.

   * checks/shared-libs.pm:
     + [CL] Skip Objective-C libraries for the no-symbols-control-file tag
       as instance/class methods do not appear in the symbol table. Thanks
       to Yavor Doganov for the report and help.  (Closes: #749202)
   * checks/source-copyright.desc:
     + [CL] Avoid false positives for missing-notice-file-for-apache-license
       by also looking for files with a .txt extension in binary packages.
       Thanks to Ferenc Wágner for the report.  (Closes: #886343)
   * checks/standards-version.desc:
     + [CL] Downgrade severity of out-of-date-standards-version from normal
       ("W:") to wishlist ("I:").  (Closes: #886210)
   * checks/watch-file.pm:
     + [CL] Apply patch from Carlos Maddela <e7appew@gmail.com> to prevent
       false-positives when options contain escaped quotation marks.
       (Closes: #886574)
 .
   * collection/src-orig-index:
     + [CL] Return the replaced string after injecting any tarball prefix
       (ie. "foo/bar\n"), not Perl's result of the replacement (ie. "1").
       (Closes: #886586)
 .
   * data/common/dbg-pkg:
     + [CL] Identify both python-foo-dbg and python3-foo-dbg as known debug
       packages to avoid a false-positive for the former when checking for
       debian-control-has-obsolete-dbg-package.  (Closes: #886271)
   * data/files/fnames:
     + [CL] Warn about packages that ship (non-reproducible) Python
       Hypothesis examples.  (Closes: #886101)
     + [CL] Only test for packages shipping gschemas.compiled files in
       usr/share/glib-*/schemas as it is valid for packages to generate
       schemas at build time. Thanks to Jonathan Carter (highvoltage) for
       the followup.  (Closes: #884142)
   * data/spelling/corrections:
     + [PW] Add a number of corrections.
   * data/standards-version/ancient-date:
     + [CL] Change the policy of "ancient-standards-version" to "a release
       of Policy from the previous stable release cycle" and update the
       value to match.  (Closes: #886219)
 .
   * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
     + [CL] Make the previously-hidden package anchor links visible so that
       one can right-click and copy the URL instead of constructing it
       manually.
 .
   * t/tests/files-multiarch-foreign-files:
     + [CL] Ensure that we install to a multiarch directory on all
       architectures to prevent a FTBFS on, for example, i386.
       (Closes: #886163)
