Hi!
For all 32-bit architectures lintian complains if functions using off_t
instead of off64_t are used. On legacy architectures, this is indeed a good
check, as for old ABI compatibility reasons sizeof(off_t) is only 4.
However, new 32-bit archi

Hi!
I get the following error:

The riscv64 architecture is supported by dpkg and binutils already, and

Hi!
RTF is an old file format from Microsoft, that was pushed as a means of
"cross-platform interchange". It has never been really widespread, but,
because its simplicity, most Word-like programs support it. Thus, it's
an odd but not entirely irr

Hi!
When ran on at least ploop .deb (versions 1.15-6 and 1.15-7), lintian fails
with:

Hi!
When reviewing packages, I find myself hardly ever look at overridden tags,
as it's tedious to mentally weed them out when reading lintian output.
I think it would be great if you could visually mark them.
For example, using \e[2m (half-brig

Hi!
The tag init.d-script-needs-depends-on-lsb-base has been redundant for
quite a while, as lsb-base was transitively essential. Now it's even more

Lintian emits the following tag:

spelling-error-in-binary targetted targeted
This promotes the US spelling. The UK has mostly switched to the US variant
as well, but -tt- remains the predominant versi

I agree -- in Crawl's upstream, we had a very lengthy flamewar about this
topic (that game's original author was an australian, thus .au spelling is
preferred):
