Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.107

I just got

W: devscripts source: testsuite-dependency-has-unparsable-elements "\n @" (in 
paragraph starting at line 1)

When using:

mattia@warren ~/devel/debian/devscripts/devscripts (git)-[master] % cat 
debian/tests/control
Tests: shunit2
Depends:
 @,
 build-essential,
 debhelper,
 faketime,
 git,
 gnupg,
 libdistro-info-perl,
 libipc-run-perl,
 libmoo-perl,
 libwww-perl,
 mozilla-devscripts,
 python3-debian,
 python3-pyftpdlib,
 shunit2,
 wdiff,
 zip,
Restrictions: allow-stderr
mattia@warren ~/devel/debian/devscripts/devscripts (git)-[master] %


But as far as I can see both dpkg-source and autopkgtest parse that just
fine, and
https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/blob/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst
doesn't really say anything against starting with \n, it just says "This
supports all features of dpkg dependencies" which I suppose includes
also starting with \n.

Therefore, I think that this is a false positive from lintian.
