Package: lintian Version: 2.5.75 Severity: normal Ohai,
I think the check for debian-rules-is-dh_make-template instroduced in d0fec9183b5977fa8f5e0a779631bb140ee3415d is too broad. Just because d/rules has '# See debhelper(7) (uncomment to enable)' as the second line, does not mean the author did not modify it. Actually, looking at the current dh_make template [1], I see no reason why this should not be used verbatim in most packages that require no special handling. lintian.d.o currently lists 328 packages where this tag is applied [2], at least for tlp [3] and acpi-call [4] (which I sponsor), I know that d/rules is modified. Same applies to my own tuned [5] and tp-smapi [6]. Thanks for taking care of lintian and Debian Evgeni [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/dh-make.git/tree/lib/debian/rules [2] https://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-rules-is-dh_make-template.html [3] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/tlp.git/tree/debian/rules [4] https://github.com/MoonSweep/acpi-call/blob/master/debian/rules [5] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/tuned.git/tree/debian/rules [6] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/evgeni/tp-smapi.git/tree/debian/rules -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: SELinux: enabled - Mode: Permissive - Policy name: default Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.30-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5 ii file 1:5.32-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-4 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.33 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.60-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.39-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.0.5 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.96-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b3 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-12 ii libperl5.26 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.26.1-4+b1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.73-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.24-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.69+repack-1 ii man-db 2.8.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl 5.26.1-4+b1 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.30-5 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.0.5 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.47-1 -- no debconf information
