Hello David/Michael,

With regards to the above subject, was looking at the lintian part here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppDevUploadProcess

and I did not understand this part:

Make Lintian check for = or <= in Depends

and I wanted to know whether we are referring to conflicts, replaces
and breaks field by any chance, I have implemented the same in the
latest lintian package uploaded to the ARB contributors PPA.

and Make Lintian check for files installing outside of the whitelisted
directories <-- We have made a rule to allow anything that gets
installed into /opt/extras.ubuntu.com in the package and alert
anything outside /opt except few exceptions presently. Please let me
know if I have missed something here.

I'll work on version number check this weekend and update the package.

Regards,
