Bug#875509: lintian: please upload a version that knows about Policy 4.1.0

[Francesco Poli (wintermute)]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.52
Severity: wishlist

Hello!

A new version of the Debian Policy has been recently published
and [announced]. This new version has been almost immediately [added]
to the list of standards known to lintian.

[announced]: 

[added]: 


However, this change has not yet materialized in a new lintian
version uploaded to unstable.
This means that the lintian version currently in unstable is
not able to check for compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.0 and
complains about newer-standards-version, when it encounters
a Standards-Version: 4.1.0 package...

Please upload a new lintian version to unstable.
Thanks for your time!

Bye.
