Package: lintian
Version: 2.1.0
Severity: normal
Hello.
Lintian recently started to produce 'debhelper-but-no-misc-depends'
warnings. While it reveal true issues, it also produces false positives
in case of data-only packages, which have no 'Depends' field at all.
And I can't fix this warnings, because putting
'Depends: ${misc:Depends}' will in 99% of my cases result in empty
'Depends:' line which is Policy violation. I guess this is archive-wide
issue, so I am waiting for advice from you (I can just override false
positives in all my packages, but I am not very happy with this solution.)
Regards,
Eugene.
