Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1lenny1
Severity: serious
Justification: violates Policy §4.4

The changelog for ‘aptitude’ contains a bad entry for version 
‘0.4.11.9-1lenny1’:

=====
aptitude (0.4.11.9-1lenny1) testing-proposed-updates; urgency=low

  * Upload to testing-proposed-updates.

 --
=====

The last line of that entry is malformed: Debian Policy §4.4 specifies 
that every changelog entry should end with a line of the form:

=====
 -- maintainer name <email address>[two spaces]  date
=====

A malformed changelog entry can cause problems for any tools 
attempting to extract structured information from that changelog. The 
changelog should be fixed by completing the information as above, and 
a new version uploaded.

  `\    the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind.” |
