Right. That's a recent feature of Lintian. Apropos Lintian. There are a few Lintian warnings, which should be fixed (if not already fixed in the git repo): http://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/[email protected]#aptitude But most of them are easy to fix: Source package: W ancient-standards-version 3.8.3 (current is 3.9.2) -> Should be updated. Check one of /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.* W debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch build-indep W package-would-benefit-from-build-arch-targets -> Hopefully not too complex to add. aptitude W binary-without-manpage usr/bin/aptitude-curses -> No problem, but I think either a slave alternative to aptitude or a lintian override should be added. I'd prefer the slave alternative. W manpage-has-errors-from-man usr/share/man/ja/man8/aptitude.8.gz 145: warning: macro `Sh' not defined -> Should be looked at, but not immediately IMHO. W menu-command-not-in-package usr/share/menu/aptitude:7 usr/bin/aptitude-gtk W pkg-not-in-package-test aptitude-gtk usr/share/menu/aptitude -> This indicates that the menu file for aptitude-gtk goes into the aptitude-curses package. Should be fixed, but isn't urgent IMHO. E python-script-but-no-python-dep usr/share/bug/aptitude -> If reportbug (which makes use of that script) is installed, python will be installed anyway, so I'd override this lintian warning and maybe even file a bug against lintian. aptitude-gtk W binary-without-manpage usr/bin/aptitude-gtk -> See above. And if you want to get the package real clean in the future, there are also some less important issues which could be fixed: http://lintian.debian.org/full/[email protected]#aptitude Some comments: I duplicate-long-description aptitude-doc-en aptitude-doc-es -> Mention the word Spanish somewhere in aptitude-doc-es's long description. I arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share 7336kB 66% -> Maybe not easy. I'd say not top priority, but worth to look at. Feel free to ask questions about any of these lintian warnings.
