Indeed. Some have been fixed earlier today. Some comments: > > Source package: > > W ancient-standards-version > 3.8.3 (current is 3.9.2) > > -> Should be updated.

Is this an issue given that the current maintainer address is not responsive for some time? > 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. > Converted this to sh as the interface is well-defined and it is conceivable that some package other than reportbug may make use of the script.

I did consider a slave alternative though don't think it is suitable at the moment since there is no dedicated man page describing the GTK-standard options. I think best bet is an override and moving the man page to hypothetical aptitude-common (along with other arch-indep files). > > W debian-rules-missing-recommended-target > build-arch > build-indep > W package-would-benefit-from-build-arch-targets > > -> Hopefully not too complex to add. There is a patch with empty targets but I didn't think that would be very useful. With a little more effort we can at least move the docs to build-indep and get some actual benefits. > I arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share > > 7336kB 66% > > -> Maybe not easy.
