It is appropriate not to capitalize debian in that usage.

Well, the problem is that I decided to do both of these - the capitalization fixes and the B-D -> B-D-I change - exactly because lintian *did* issue information notices when I built debhelper to test my dh_installcatalogs change. Maybe something is different in our environments? I'm running Squeeze (updated every day) with debian-policy and lintian pinned from unstable; right now I have lintian-2.2.14, and it warned about the three packages in B-D in both my squeeze environment and my sid chroot, and http://lintian.debian.org/full/jo...@debian.org.html#debhelper also seems to agree. Maybe it didn't warn about those at some time in the past, but I distinctly remember fixing such problems in my arch-all packages of various Perl modules. Oh... I think I see it now - it's just that it's an information notice, not a warning or an error. In that case, it might be that it's your call to decide to ignore it - and if so, sorry for the wasted time again, and thanks for your response! Should I close the bug, or will you?
