Lintian is complaining about not finding "Non-maintainer upload" on the first line. Should not it look after the line with the name ? If you think that the changelog entry should have been wrote: +nvidia-kernel-common (20100216+3+nmu1) unstable; urgency=critical + + * Non-maintainer upload. + + [ Jean-Christophe Dubacq ] + * fix security bug for console users (closes: #574255) + + [ Vincent Danjean ] + * Upload to delayed-2 queue + + -- Vincent Danjean <[email protected]> Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:35:53 +0100 then, please, reassign this bug to devscripts (dch) as "dch -a" did not keep "Non-maintainer upload." on the first line.
