Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.11
For a package I'm currently building:
W: liboglft1: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libOGLFT1
lintian needs to convert the SONAME to lowercase before comparing. This
is going to affect a large number of packages.

I don't know if this deserves some kind of lintian check, but it does

Sometimes an override becomes unnecessary, either because the package

no longer flags the package. Either way, at that point the override
becomes unnecessary. Lintian should

lintian 2.86.0 introduces a new dependency on lzip, but does not

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.
