Package: lintian Version: 2.5.3 Severity: wishlist The dpatch makefile has been a compatibility layer (and hence, semi-deprecated) since dpatch 2.0, uploaded in November, 2003.
Furthermore, dpatch itself is now deprecated[0] too. The attached patch (against git head) adds its makefile to the deprecated makefiles list. [0]: http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dpatch/news/20111024T000209Z.html Since the whole of dpatch is deprecated, and it can be used even without including its makefile, so adding dpatch to data/fields/obsolete-packages might make sense too. But perhaps not at this time, since the deprecation is very recent, and wheezy will still have dpatch. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.21.90.20111019-3 ii bzip2 1.0.5-7 ii diffstat 1.54-1 ii file 5.09-2 ii gettext 0.18.1.1-5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.25 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.16.1.1 ii libemail-valid-perl 0.185-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.90-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii liburi-perl 1.59-1 ii locales 2.13-21 ii man-db 2.6.0.2-2 ii patchutils 0.3.2-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.12.4-6 ii unzip 6.0-5 lintian recommends no packages.
