Package: lintian Version: 2.114.0 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org Please consider upgrading the lintian tag missing-systemd-timer-for-cron-script to a warning. This would help encourage packages to add such timers, which long-term may allow cron to become optional, at

Bug#554006: lintian: Warn if package ships files in /etc/cron.* without depending on cron

I don't think lintian should warn about this, for two reasons: - It's possible to have an *optional* cron script, not required for package functionality, which might warrant at most a `Suggests`. - If a script ships both a cron script and a systemd .timer file, it need not depend on cron.

scrolling works only vertically. In the past, with a different keyboard/mouse combo device (a wired external ThinkPad keyboard), I've been able to scroll both horizontally and vertically. I don't know if this is an issue with the handling of this model, or an issue that changed in libinput. - Jos

Bug#1005847: ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II middle-mouse scrolling also clicks

ddle-mouse scrolling avoids sending a middle-click, and thus avoids triggering things like middle-mouse paste or opening a new tab.
