I'm not clear on why this occurs. The relevant code appears to be in
‘lib/Lintian/Check/Debian/Changelog.pm’:
=====
for my $bug (@{$latest_entry->Closes}) {
$self->pointed_hint('improbable-bug-number-in-closes',
$latest_pointer, $bug)
if $bug < $FIRST_ARCHIVED_BUG_NUMBER
|| $bug >= $OUT_OF_REACH_BUG_NUMBER;
}
=====
where ‘$OUT_OF_REACH_BUG_NUMBER’ is defined in the same file:
=====
const my $OUT_OF_REACH_BUG_NUMBER => 1_500_000;
=====
Yet, with Lintian version 2.111.0, I get the tag raised for bug
numbers lower than that.
=====
$ lintian --version
Lintian v2.111.0
$ lintian
[…]
