Package: lintian Version: 2.4.1 Severity: normal Hi,
lintian reports incorrectly W: nvidia-graphics-drivers source: stronger-dependency-implies-weaker libcuda1-ia32 recommends -> suggests nvidia-kernel${nvidia:Legacy}-source (>= ${nvidia:Version}) for the following contruct in debian/control: Package: libcuda1 Recommends: nvidia-kernel${nvidia:Legacy}-${nvidia:Version} Suggests: nvidia-kernel${nvidia:Legacy}-source (>= ${nvidia:Version}) Looks like lintian only considers 'nvidia-kernel' as the package name, omitting the substvars and everything coming after them. For the source package the full package name including unsubstituted substvars should be considered when comparing them, "collisions" (= different substitutions resulting in the same package name really creating a stronger-dependency-implies-weaker relalationship) can be detected in the binary packages.
