The sign-off line must match when compared "byte-for-byte" (leading and trailing whitespace being stripped in d/control, but it isn't in the changelog[0]) If there is no match (and no "magic" upload-type string[1]), Lintian assumes it is a NMU. ~Niels [0] This is one of the reasons why it is generally recommend to use a tool like dch to create new the changelog entries / update the time-stamp. They don't add a whitespace to many or forgot one where there should have bene one. [1] e.g. "Team upload". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
