Package: lintian Version: 2.5.52 Severity: wishlist Hello!
A new version of the Debian Policy has been recently published and [announced]. This new version has been almost immediately [added] to the list of standards known to lintian. [announced]: <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2017/08/msg00007.html> [added]: <https://anonscm.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git/commit/?id=224eb98af90fc4f6412718b850763cfe347aa847> However, this change has not yet materialized in a new lintian version uploaded to unstable. This means that the lintian version currently in unstable is not able to check for compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.0 and complains about newer-standards-version, when it encounters a Standards-Version: 4.1.0 package... Please upload a new lintian version to unstable. Thanks for your time!
