Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl Severity: normal Hi,
Your package is the only known consumer of Lintian's internal Perl modules. We would like to stop shipping our modules in the Perl system path. Here is another way to get the information you require. Your package loads a default Lintian profile [1] and uses the Lintian::Data mechanism to get the policy release dates from data/standard-version/release-dates [2]. It may be tempting to use a simpler parser, but please consider that the information actually originates somewhere else. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libconfig-model-dpkg-perl/-/blob/master/lib/Config/Model/Dpkg/Control/Source/StandardVersion.pm#L19-23 [2] https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/master/data/standards-version/release-dates Attached is a script that extracts the release dates from the policy changelog. It uses the network. The data will always be current. More information may be available in Bug#903220, which caused you to use Lintian in the first place. For some time, Lintian has had issues with outdated modules loading from the system path. Starting with the next release, Lintian will in addition ship its Perl modules in a private location. Please let us know when we can stop shipping our modules in the Perl system path. Thank you! Kind regards Felix Lechner
