Public bug reported:
Running lintian against the current linux-linaro-omap binary packages
returns the following warnings/errors, which I've grouped by
category/importance. These should be cleaned up.
W: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: missing-debconf-dependency-for-
preinst
Using debconf in a preinst maintainer script requires a pre-dependency
on debconf. This may cause obscure failures on upgrades because dpkg
has not been told the debconf package needs to be configured before
trying to unpack a kernel package.
E: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap:
depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version depends: coreutils
E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap:
depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version depends: coreutils
These references to coreutils are bogus and should be fixed.
W: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: copyright-without-copyright-notice
W: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: copyright-without-copyright-notice
Self-explanatory...
W: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: extended-description-line-too-
long
Self-explanatory and trivial to fix by word-wrapping the description.
W: linux-image-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: postrm-does-not-purge-debconf
This clutters up the debconf database with stale metadata.
W: nic-shared-modules-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap-di udeb: description-
starts-with-leading-spaces
extra whitespace in debian.master/d-i/package-list, it seems; probably
needs fixed in the Ubuntu base kernel package.
E: linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap: unstripped-binary-or-object
./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap/scripts/basic/docproc

./usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.37-1001-linaro-omap/scripts/selinux/mdp/mdp
These are all errors, but fairly low-priority, I guess. Can be fixed
down the line with an appropriate argument to dh_strip.
