--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.123 Severity: normal Hello, Recent versions of lintian have produced inconsistent-appstream-metadata-license for my package src:elogind. However, I think the test is too restictive. The package as a whole is LGPL-2.1+. I licensed the AppStream metadata as CC0-1.0. Surely having a more permissive license for AppStream metadata is not a problem? Thanks Mark
