Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: important
Dear QA team,
lintian.debian.org reports a source-is-missing error against a package I
co-maintain, nyx [0]. However, Lintian does not report the issue on my
development machine, and the file in question does not exist in the source
tarball.
Would it be possible for someone to check out why lintian.d.o reports
spurious errors? This severely limits its usefulness. :(
For information, here are some information about my lintian version and
how I checked the error was indeed spurious :

OK, now I know :)

I ended up narrowing it down to having had a different orig tarball than what
was in the archive, because of a tooling messup between dererk@ and I
(I had setup uscan/mk-origtargz things to excise the binary files, but it
seems it wasn't working in dererk's workflow and he shot first.)
So, qa.d.o was right after all :)
Best,
