Package: lintian Version: 2.42.0 Severity: normal Hi!
I've already noticed at least two instances of maintainers fixing email addresses due to debian-changelog-file-contains-invalid-email-address, for binNMU entries in debian/changelog's in source packages. These should never be in a source package's debian/changelog, as they are arch-specific rebuilds, triggered by external forces, w/o modification to the source package (except for the debian/changelog entry so that it propagates to the built binary). I assume these got merged at some time, following the otherwise common practice of acknowleding NMUs by incorporating their changelog entries, which should not apply for binNMUs. So it seems counterproductive to emit the above tag, when these entries should instead be removed. :) Thanks, Guillem
