The issue is that the patch you supplied was against checks/files, which is never used when checking a source package, as can be seen from the header information of the file you added the tag to :-) $ head checks/files.desc Check-Script: files Author: Christian Schwarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Abbrev: fil Type: binary, udeb Unpack-Level: 1 Needs-Info: objdump-info, scripts Info: This script checks if a binary package conforms to policy WRT to files and directories. Did you intend the check to be performed against binary packages, source packages, or both? If the second then checks/files is entirely the wrong place to be checking, and if the latter then it's not the only place the check needs adding.
