Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.19
Severity: normal

If a package contains files with timestamps far in the future, then lintian will emit different set of tags depending on whether it's run on 32- or 64-bit machine.

Apparently libghc-quickcheck-instances-dev would have been auto-rejected from the archive if ftp-master.d.o had been running a 32-bit system.
