Package: lintian Version: 2.77.0 Severity: serious Sigh,
So the problematic --fail-on default change never got actually reverted as the patch applied in commit 3758bfafd5dd742c327f2312dac8e3a71b1f036e omitted the relevant part that would make it work. :( None of the previous arguments against the default change brought up in #962158 have stopped being relevant (also contrary to the commit message…). Worse, this sneaked in what has shipped now in a stable Debian release. :( So any errors found in CI systems and through other tooling has been silently ignored since then. :/ Only noticed now due to #994414, a great excuse to now keep the broken behavior I guess. (Where the --help output still does not match…) Unamused, Guillem
