- bad-provided-package-name
- conflicts-with-version
- copyright-refers-to-deprecated-bsd-license-file
- init.d-script-depends-on-unknown-virtual-facility

+ Removed:

- package-type-in-debian-control
* checks/changes-file.desc:
+ [RA] Add references for file-size-mismatch-in-changes-file and
checksum-mismatch-in-changes-file.
* checks/control-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Remove package-type-in-debian-control now that dpkg-dev handles
it as desired by the d-i team. xc-package-type-in-debian-control
replaces it as a pedantic check to encourage switching to the
official name. Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
+ [RA] Add reference for debian-control-with-duplicate-fields.
* checks/copyright-file{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Deprecate references to /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD in
debian/copyright following the change in Policy 3.8.5.
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Allow Breaks without a version if the broken package is a
virtual package.
+ [RG] Check for invalid package names in provided (virtual)
packages.
+ [RG] Exclude dash from the depends-on-essential-package checks, as
per discusion in debian-devel. (Closes: #587209)
+ [RA] Allow architecture wildcards in build relations and in the
Architecture field of binary and source packages. (Closes: #582804)
+ [RA] Rename arch-any-in-binary-pkg to arch-wildcard-in-binary-package
and diagnose any architecture wildcard, not just any.
+ [RA] Warn of using Conflicts with a version, which should normally
be Breaks instead, but only at wild-guess certainty for now.
* checks/huge-usr-share{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Count file size from the tar listing rather than using du. The
results of du vary based on file system and other factors and make
the tag difficult to test.
* checks/init.d{,.desc}:
+ [RG] Check for init.d scripts depending on unknown virtual
facilities.
+ [RA] Remove checkroot from the list of scripts that should use a
virtual dependency since $local_fs is not quite the same and some
packages (cryptsetup) care about the difference. (Closes: #580082)
* checks/manpages{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Run man page checks using the en_US.UTF-8 locale now that we
guarantee it exists. Should hopefully fix occasional problems with
col complaining about bad multibyte characters. (Closes: #575661)
* checks/menu-format.desc:
+ [RA] Fix typo in long description of duplicated-key-in-desktop-entry.
Thanks, Niels Thykier. (Closes: #580700)
* checks/menus:
+ [RG] Recognise call to update-menus when using 'exec.'
+ [RA] Skip Haskell library documentation when warning about
documentation not registered with doc-base. Patch from Erik de
Castro Lopo. (Closes: #586877)
* checks/nmu{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Recognize team uploads and do not treat them like NMUs. Patch
from Charles Plessy. (Closes: #582741)
* checks/rules.desc:
+ [RA] Add reference for debian-rules-makemaker-prefix-is-deprecated.
* checks/scripts:
+ [RG] Correctly handle variables at the beginning of a call to
dpkg-divert. Thanks, Andreas Beckmann. (Closes: #586984)
* collection/objdump-info:
+ [RG] Disable etch compatibility code.
* collection/strings:
+ [RG] Correctly handle ELF binaries with whitespaces in their name.
