Package: lintian Version: 2.5.121 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
It seems that lintian.d.o lists some (all?) failures in a binary package twice. Things look ok for the source package report. For example at https://lintian.debian.org/full/pkg-grub-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net.html#grub2_2.02_x2bdfsg1-10 under `hardening-no-bindnow` for the `grub-common` package I see: * usr/bin/grub-editenv * usr/bin/grub-editenv * usr/bin/grub-file * usr/bin/grub-file * usr/bin/grub-fstest * usr/bin/grub-fstest * usr/bin/grub-glue-efi * usr/bin/grub-glue-efi * etc * etc similarly under `grub-coreboot` for `conflicts-with-version`, `maintainer-script-should-not-use-dpkg-maintscript-helper` and `unused-debconf-template` each entry is duplicated. I failed to find the raw reports anywhere so I can't see if these are duplicated there, nor see if maybe there are two legitimate separate runs which aren't being distinguished in the report. Version given in the metadata above is as reported on the website today, not what I am running locally (currently 2.5.116, but shouldn't be relevant, except the System Information below will reflect it). I first noticed this issue ages (at least months ago), apologies for my not reporting it sooner.
