Package: lintian Version: 2.126.0 Followup-For: Bug #1099787 X-Debbugs-Cc: martin-eric.rac...@iki.fi,j...@joshtriplett.org
I checked #786533. Something doesn't add up. 1) Josh's bug report doesn't refer to any Policy item. 2) It also suggests that packages SHOULD NOT install any APT preference, but asks for Lintian to produce an Error. Typically MUST[NOT] would produce an Error, while SHOULD[NOT] would produce a Warning.
