Version: 2.2.8
Severity: normal
My debian/preinst script has the following:
divert_file () {
dpkg-divert --package server-web --divert $1.dpkg-orig $1
}
And lintian complains with:

N: by this package.

This should be downgraded to a "possible" as it is incorrect in this case.

Please upgrade your Lintian. :-) Version 2.2.8 has been superseded in
testing already.
This is #519268, which was fixed in Lintian 2.2.9; merging with the earlier
report.
Regards,
Adam
