Package: lintian Version: 1.23.26 Severity: minor Hi,
If the debian/ directory contains a /.*template.*/ directory, the warning not-using-po-debconf is raised. However, there seems to be only false-positives. Even if nothing prevents a maintainer to put its templates in a debian/*template* directory, it seems that there are more false-positives than false-negatives. Therefore, I think it is worth applying the attached patch. Packages affected: linux-2.6 linux-kbuild-2.6 linux-latest-2.6 linux-modules-extra-2.6 loop-aes xen-3.0 xen-unstable (data extracted from http://merkel.debian.org/~ballombe/lintian-svn/reports/Tnot-using-po-debconf.html) Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux
