Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.80
Severity: wishlist
My outreachy mentee renamed an old patch to:
02_set_version_explicitly.patch_back
lintian complained about that with:
W: libosmo-sccp source: patch-file-present-but-not-mentioned-in-series
02_set_version_explicitly.patch_back
I would like to suggest that such a name will be ignored as valid filename
for a patch (maybe a list of "valid" names can appear on lintian.d.o).

Indeed!

Getcha. Closing accordingly :-)
