Package: lintian
Version: 2.128.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
According to https://trends.debian.net/patch-systems_unstable.csv,
the last traces of "dpatch" usage in Debian were removed before 202301.
The four tags remains, with each 0 match of course.
Please remove the logic for these 4 tags to spare CPU time.
I don't know how to proceed, that's why I did not proposed a Salsa MR.
Greetings
Alexandre
