I was under the impression, based on an email on another list (http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2003/debian-qa-200303/msg00001.html) which was suggested, "This is a lintian false positive, and probably one that can't be worked around in lintian" that this would not be possible in lintian. I have CC'd the lintian-maintainer to see if it is possible. > Further more, since I don't think the new debian-installer is using > those *-bf packages, but uses udeb's instead, those *-bf packages may > be completely obsolete already. > > Did you discuss the issue first with the lintian maintainer and the bf > team ? I have included the debian-boot list on this email as well to see if we can get resolution on if the *-bf packages are completely obsolete or not. Thanks!
