Package: lintian Version: 1.23.34 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
The description for source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number reads: N: A source NMU should have a Debian revision of '-x.x'. This is to N: prevent stealing version numbers from the maintainer (and the -x.x.x N: version numbers are reserved for binary-only NMU's). The part about the binNMU version numbers is outdated. Since the new syntax is not really relevant to that explanation, I've attached a patch that just removes it. thanks, Thijs
