Package: lintian Version: 2.2.17 Severity: wishlist Hi lintian team,
please consider adding a special exception for the perl package in the no-copyright-file check. See #522827 for the rationale, quoting Russ there: > Lintian can do that, sure. Perl is the only package I'm aware of that has > this particular configuration, and the reasons are directly related to the > fact that it's essential, so it's not much of a slippery slope. and Joerg on whether a lintian override could be enough to work around the autoreject: > I would not really love the tag within warning, cos it is really > something that shouldn't occur, so a special case for > this one thing, with all the stuff said in the bugreport, in lintian > would be what I prefer (besides changing the package).
