Ah, I see; lintian doesn't display "minor/possible" by default, so when I tested it on this description it didn't say anything: ~$ apt show postgresql-10-wal2json Package: postgresql-10-wal2json Version: 1.0-1 Priority: optional Section: database Source: wal2json Maintainer: Debian PostgreSQL Maintainers <pkg-postgresql-pub...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Installed-Size: 39.9 kB Depends: postgresql-10, libc6 (>= 2.4) Homepage: https://github.com/eulerto/wal2json Download-Size: 11.6 kB APT-Sources: https://deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages Description: wal2json is an output plugin for logical decoding.
