Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.10.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
missing-debian-source-format is currently hidden away as
informational, although the large number of packages with
this defect makes it almost impossible to switch dpkg-source
to properly require that file. (And the 1.0 implied by
the non-existance of that file means dpkg-source will not
check anything but for example happily create native packages
just because a .orig.tar file is missing, making this a very
newbie-unfriendly situation).
Please switching back to W. Patch attached for convenience.
