Package: lintian
Version: 2.116.3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tpiko...@gmail.com
When File: pattern in debian/copyright has files which contain a '+',
lintian incorrectly interprets this as a shell pattern and emits a
'superfluous-file-pattern' warning. Example:
W: presage source: superfluous-file-pattern apps/notepad++/PluginDefinition.cpp
[debian/copyright:204]
debian/copyright line 204 is:
Files: apps/notepad++/PluginDefinition.h apps/notepad++/PluginDefinition.cpp
The 'Machine-readable debian/copyright file' spec says that the patterns
in the Files field 'are specified using a simplified shell glob syntax',
which does not contain the '+' pattern:
