Hi Syed,
Please address this Lintian output on your next upload:
Running lintian...

P: doctest-dev: example-unusual-interpreter /usr/bin/python
[usr/share/doc/doctest-dev/examples/range_based_execution.py]
N:
N: This package contains an example script for an interpreter that is not
N: shipped in the package and is not known to Lintian. It is possible that
N: there is a typo or the interpreter is not executable.

P: doctest source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 13
N:
N: This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer
N: recommended. Please consider using the recommended level.
N:
N: For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to
N: specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You
N: can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules.
N:
N: If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is
N: deprecated.

N: Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

N:
P: doctest source: redundant-priority-optional-field [debian/control:4]
N:
N: This package currently sets the Priority field in the debian/control file
N: to "optional".
N:
N: As of dpkg version 1.22.13, this field is set to "optional" by default. As
N: such, in this case the Priority field is redundant and should be removed.

N: This package currently sets the Rules-Requires-Root field in the
N: debian/control file to "no".
N:
N: As of dpkg version 1.22.13, this field is set to "no" by default. As such,
N: in this case the Rules-Requires-Root field is redundant and should be
N: removed.

X: doctest source: debian-watch-does-not-check-openpgp-signature [debian/watch]
N:
N: This watch file does not specify a means to verify the upstream tarball
N: using a cryptographic signature.
N:
N: If upstream distributions provides such signatures, please use the
N: pgpsigurlmangle options in this watch file's opts= to generate the URL of
N: an upstream OpenPGP signature. This signature is automatically downloaded
N: and verified against a keyring stored in debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
N:
N: Of course, not all upstreams provide such signatures but you could request
N: them as a way of verifying that no third party has modified the code after
N: its release (projects such as phpmyadmin, unrealircd, and proftpd have
N: suffered from this kind of attack).
N:
N: Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.
N:
N: Visibility: pedantic
N: Show-Always: no

X: doctest source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file 522 > 512
[doc/markdown/assertions.md:124]
N:
N: The source file includes a line length that is well beyond the normally
N: human made code line length.
N:
N: This very long line length does not allow Lintian to do correctly some
N: source file checks.
N:
N: This line could also be the result of some text injected by a computer
N: program, and thus could lead to FTBFS bugs.
N:
N: Last but not least, long line in source code could be used to obfuscate
N: the source code and to hide stuff like backdoors or security problems.
N:
N: It could be due to jslint source comments or other build tool comments.
N:
N: You may report this issue upstream.
N:
N: Visibility: pedantic
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: files/contents/line-length
N: Renamed from: insane-line-length-in-source-file
N: This tag is experimental.
N:
N: Screen: autotools/long-lines
N: Advocates: "Russ Allbery" <[email protected]>
N: Reason:
N: Upstream sources using autoconf have traditionally been
N: distributed with generated ./configure scripts as well as
N: other third-party m4 macro files such as libtool.
N:
N: When paired with automake, there may also be some intermediate
N: Makefile.in files.
N:
N: A lot of sources potentially contain such files, but they are
N: not actionable by either the Debian distributor or by the
N: upstream maintainer.
N:
N: As a side note, modern Debian build protocols will re-create
N: many of those files via dh_autoreconf. They are present merely
N: to aid in bootstrapping systems where the GNU suite may not yet
N: be available.

N: Read more in Bug#996740.
