These are good to have fixes. So yes, if you have the time, please do fix them.
But please, no overrides for warnings. They are genuine problems, just wanting
someone's attention and time. The only override we've done is which may have not
applied to the state of multipath-tools.

You are correct, the build was done in jessie. After rebuilding in sid,
I get:

Is it worth it to try and fix these warning? Or at least provide
overrides for them.

Hi,

Please keep me in CC for follow ups on this if my reply is desired.

These 3 can appear for legitimate reasons if:

 * The build was last done several months ago, OR
 * If done in jessie/jessie-backports (with the jessie version of
   debhelper)

In the former case, a simple no-change rebuild will generally fix the
issue (and indeed, the unstable package does not appear to be affected[1]).
  In the latter case, lintian is simply testing for something that
applies to unstable but not for jessie.  For backports, you can avoid it
by using the debhelper in jessie-backports; but it is not really necessary.

Thanks,
~Niels

Bug#827923: multipath-tools: lintian errors and warnings

[Andrew Patterson]

Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.6.1-3

I get the following errors and warning when running lintian
2.5.44~bpo8+1 on multipath-tools_0.6.1-3:
