Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.15
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Ran into this while fixing some older Debian Perl packages. Someone set
DH_COMPAT with:
export DH_COMPAT := 3
and lintian didn't see it. The attached patch allows an optional : before
the = for both methods of setting DH_COMPAT, since to make it means the
same thing. (?= is really a bug since something set in the environment
shouldn't change the compatibility level of the package, so I intentionally
didn't allow that case.)
