Thanks, Shengjing Zhu, for suggesting to solve this in lintian. Thanks, Bastien, for offering to help do that. I am not convinced, however, that this issue is a bug in lintian: The testcase you ask for is the actual files in the icc-profiles source package which already is already correctly identified by lintian. I.e. issue is not that some different files get misdetected but instead that lintian _correctly_ identifies the files in this non-free package and _correctly_ classifies those as unsuitable in main, but ftpmaster then using that identification and classification as reason for rejecting an upload of the non-free package. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
