Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hello, the conversation in https://salsa.debian.org/freexian-team/debusine/-/merge_requests/300#note_434002 led me to realize that as a simple lintian user reading the manual page, you can't discover the existence of classification tags and you can't figure out the syntax to enable the display of those tags. Please improve the manual page to explain what classification tags are, that they are considered like normal tags with a priority lower than everything else and that you can enable them with "--display-level +=classification". BTW in general, the whole explanation about --display-level is pretty confusing, it's not clear to me what "S|C|S/C" is supposed to mean for instance. And there's no global sorted list of usable severity so it's hard to predict the result of --display-level '>=classification'.
