Package: maint-guide Version: 1.2.39 Severity: wishlist --
In Chapter 6 of the maint-guide package, the B90lintian hooks script for pbuilder contains the line apt-get -y --force-yes install "$@" The "--force-yes" option is deprecated; apt-get recommends replacing it with one of the "--allow-*" options. However, the apt-get man page warns that all of those options are "dangerous". The example B90lintian script in /usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/B90lintian simply omits the "--force-yes" option and does not replace it with an "--allow-*' option. Please consider just removing the "--force-yes" option in the B90lintian example in maint-guide Chapter 6. Thanks, Paul Hardy
