Review...

1. Build[1]: Good

2. Lintian[2]: Issue

W: sosreport: bad-whatis-entry [usr/share/man/man1/sos-clean.1.gz]
N: 
N:   A manual page should start with a NAME section, which lists the program
N:   name and a brief description. The NAME section is used to generate a
N:   database that can be queried by commands like apropos and whatis. You are
N:   seeing this tag because lexgrog was unable to parse the NAME section.
N:   
N:   Manual pages for multiple programs, functions, or files should list each
N:   separated by a comma and a space, followed by \- and a common description.
N:   
N:   Listed items may not contain any spaces. A manual page for a two-level
N:   command such as fs listacl must look like fs_listacl so the list is read
N:   correctly.
N: 
N:   Please refer to the lexgrog(1) manual page, the groff_man(7) manual page,
N:   and the groff_mdoc(7) manual page for details.

W: sosreport: spelling-error-in-changelog unecessary unnecessary
[usr/share/doc/sosreport/changelog.Debian.gz]
N: 
N:   Lintian found a spelling error in the latest entry of the Debian
N:   changelog. Lintian has a list of common misspellings that it looks for. It
N:   does not have a dictionary like a spelling checker does.
N:   
N:   When writing a changelog entry for a spelling fix that includes the
N:   misspelling, ensure the word "spelling" is on the same line as the
N:   misspelled word to avoid triggering this warning.

N:   A manual page usually should contain a .TH header, specifying the section.

I: sosreport source: override_dh_auto_test-does-not-check-DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
[debian/rules:14]
N: 
N:   The debian/rules file for this package has an override_dh_auto_test target
N:   that does not appear to check DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS against nocheck.
N:   
N:   As this check is not automatically performed by debhelper(1), the
N:   specified testsuite is run regardless of another maintainer using the
N:   nocheck build option.
N:   
N:   Please add a check such as:
N:   
N:    override_dh_auto_test:
N:    ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
N:            ./run-upstream-testsuite
N:    endif
N:   
N:   Lintian will ignore comments and other lines such as:
N:   
N:    # Disabled
N:    : Disabled
N:    echo "Disabled"
N:    mkdir foo/
N:    ENV=var dh_auto_test -- ARG=value
N:   
N:   This check is not required in Debhelper compat level 13 or greater (see
N:   Bug#568897).
N: 
N:   Please refer to debian/rules and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS (Section 4.9.1) in the
N:   Debian Policy Manual and
N:   https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec#Registered_profile_names for
N:   details.

I: sosreport: typo-in-manual-page immediatelly immediately
[usr/share/man/man1/sos-report.1.gz:382]
N: 
N:   Lintian found a spelling error in a manual page. Lintian has a list of
N:   common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary like
N:   a spelling checker does.
N:   
N:   If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help of
N:   gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool, please fix
N:   the error in the translations as well as the English text to avoid making
N:   the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this means you should
N:   also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding msgids in the *.po
N:   files.

3. Licenses (lrc): Good

Note: 'lrc' will flag as GPL-2 on many files, but this is because the file
header(s) states:

# This copyrighted material is made available to anyone wishing to use,
# modify, copy, or redistribute it subject to the terms and conditions of
# version 2 of the GNU General Public License.

Changing to "version 2 or later" fixes the issue. Something I would see if it
can be fixed upstream.

Additional: Please review copyright year.

4. Watch file (uscan --force-download): Issue

Not a blocker, but errors are always bad.

philwyett@ks-windu:~/Development/builder/debian/mentoring/sosreport-4.7.2$ uscan
--force-download 
Successfully renamed ../sos-4.7.2.tar.gz to ../sosreport_4.7.2.orig.tar.gz.
uupdate: You can not execute this from ../sosreport-4.7.2/.
uscan: error: uupdate -f --upstream-version 4.7.2 subprocess returned exit
status 1

5. Build Twice (sudo pbuilder build --twice <package>.dsc): Good

6. Reproducible builds (reporotest)[3]: Good

7. Install (No previous installs): Good

8. Upgrade (Over previous installs if any): Good

Summary...

This package has been uploaded while a review was being done. Could the
maintainer look at the review and address any relevant issues please.

[1] Using pbuilder and sbuild.

[2] lintian -v -i -I -E --pedantic --profile debian (*.dsc, *.changes,
*.buildinfo). Each can throw up different, so be thorough.
