The tag is emitted only if the timestamp is after the changelog.
Then maybe this test could be indicated in the lintian-info output ?
Right, we should document it in the tag description.
I try to fix debian-policy... I have made a lot of progress, but I
still get
W: debian-policy: package-contains-timestamped-gzip
usr/share/doc/debian-policy/changelog.gz
which this heuristic cannot deal with.
This looks like a true positive to me. The changelog is stored
uncompressed in the source package, and only compressed at build time.
