About the only thing why I still run linda after lintian is the
warning about a missing upstream changelog which is quite helpful in
various situations (new changelog, missed in previous build, ...).
I wanted to suggest to add this functionality to lintian, just to
find out that it's already in checks/changelog-file{,.desc} but it's
commented out in the test:
# This tag is disabled for now since a lot of packages fail this
# aspect of policy and I want to clarify policy WRT multi-binary
# packages first.
#tag "no-upstream-changelog", "";
My suggestion would be to enable the check but set the Type to info
in changelog-file.desc until the open question is resolved. That way
it could still help interested maintainers without implying a policy
violation.
Cheers,
gregor
