Hi,
I ran both version Lintian v2.116.3 and Lintian
v2.119.0+18commits+gitf56fd23b4+dirty. The issue exists in both
versions. I didn't mean to open the bug against version 2.116.3 but it
applies to that version as well.
The package is any created with https://github.com/kornelski/cargo-deb.
It is an application to create debian packages from rust sources. It
adds a sha256sums file to any package that it creates. My understanding
is that this is not wrong to do.

Dear Maintainer,
When I run lintian (the most recent version from git) on a package that
has a sha256sums file I get the error 'unknown-control-file
[sha256sums]',
but I should't get an error per
https://wiki.debian.org/Sha256sumsInPackages.
Please, make this warning go away.
Hello,
It is hard to help you with this issue without knowing against what
package and what version of said package you ran Lintian.
I also see you've opened the bug against Lintian 2.116.3, whereas the
current version in unstable is 1.120.0. Is that a mistake? You said
you've run the latest version from git, but I would encourage you to
run the latest one that has been released on the Debian archive.
Cheers,
