Package: lintian Version: 2.70.0 Severity: wishlist lintian understandably reports about a no longer required -Wl,--as-needed in bullseye. However, unless I'm mistaken, it's still needed for building for buster-backports, so removing it has a side effect.
The cleanest solution would probably be to remove it, and to simply re-add this flag during backporting, at the cost of manual intervention (beyond dch --bpo, that is). The pragmatic solution would be to just override the tag for packages where a backport might be expected. What would you recommend as a strategy to address this issue?
