Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.87
Severity: normal
The new check for header-has-overly-generic-name seems too sensitive:
> E: libmutter-2-dev: header-has-overly-generic-name
> usr/include/mutter/meta/util.h
This one is canonically included as <meta/util.h> while compiling with
`pkg-config --cflags libmutter-2`, which is just as well-namespaced as
any other header. (Mutter headers are <meta/*> for historical reasons:
it's a descendant of the GNOME 2 window manager, Metacity.)
> E: libmutter-2-dev: header-has-overly-generic-name
> usr/include/mutter/clutter-2/cally/cally-util.h
> E: libmutter-2-dev: header-has-overly-generic-name
> usr/include/mutter/clutter-2/clutter/deprecated/clutter-util.h
Those are definitely not a problem - they can be accused of many things,
but insufficient namespacing is not among them :-)
Please drop the certainty for this tag, or make the regex tighter.
