I think the best solution to this bug is to just allow overriding of specific tags on the command line (using the same syntax as an override file). That's how I was going to fix it. Using the source package to provide overrides for the *.changes file is an interesting idea, but it doesn't quite feel right to me. The *.changes file is *usually* generated from a source package, but it doesn't have to be and exists as its own separate, independent thing. Binary builds, for example, will have no source package but will still have a *.changes file on which it's reasonable to run Lintian. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
