Package: lintian Version: 2.6.0 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
It is quite common, for example when using gbp to manage a package, that patches are formatted in email-style with a "from: Name <email>" header. Perhaps Lintian should ignore spelling errors in this part of patches. I myself have to override Lintian thinking my name should be spelled "Guard".
