Package: lintian Version: 2.116.3 Severity: wishlist Hi!
Starting with dpkg 1.22.0, it implements a dpkg-build-api similar in concept to the debhelper-compat levels. You can check its documentation in the dpkg-build-api(7) and dpkg-buildapi(1) manual pages. It would be nice if lintian took this level into account when emitting tags, to avoid false positives. In particular for Rules-Requires-Root, which in level 1 defaults to value «no» instead of «binary-targets». [ I've noticed I didn't update the deb-src-control(5) manual page, so I've done that locally now and will be part of the next dpkg release. ] Thanks, Guillem
