* checks/apache2.pm:
+ [CL] Fix an apache2-unparsable-dependency false positive by allowing
periods (".") in dependency names. (Closes: #873701)

+ [CL] Apply patches from Guillem Jover & Boud Roukema to improve the
description of the binary-file-built-without-LFS-support tag.
(Closes: #874078)
* checks/changes.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Ignore DFSG-repacked packages when checking for upstream
source tarball signatures as they will never match by definition.
(Closes: #871957)
+ [CL] Downgrade severity of orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature
from "E:" to "W:" as many common tools do not make including the
signatures easy enough right now. (Closes: #870722, #870069)
+ [CL] Expand the explanation of the
orig-tarball-missing-upstream-signature tag to include the location
of where dpkg-source will look. Thanks to Theodore Ts'o for the
suggestion.
* checks/copyright-file.pm:
+ [CL] Address a number of issues in copyright-year-in-future:
- Prevent false positives in port numbers, email addresses, ISO
standard numbers and matching specific and general street
addresses. (Closes: #869788)
- Match all violating years in a line, not just the first (eg.
"2000-2107").

to Thorsten Alteholz for the bug report. (Closes: #873323)
- Expand testsuite.
* checks/cruft.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Downgrade severity of file-contains-fixme-placeholder
tag from "important" (ie. "E:") to "wishlist" (ie. "I:").
Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for the suggestion.
+ [CL] Apply patch from Alex Muntada (alexm) to use "substr" instead
of "substring" in mentions-deprecated-usr-lib-perl5-directory's
description. (Closes: #871767)
+ [CL] Don't check copyright_hints file for FIXME placeholders.
(Closes: #872843)
+ [CL] Don't match quoted "FIXME" variants as they are almost always
deliberate. Thanks to Adrian Bunk for the report. (Closes: #870199)
+ [CL] Avoid false positives in missing source checks for "CSS Browser
Selector". (Closes: #874381)
* checks/debhelper.pm:
+ [CL] Prevent a false positive of
missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command that can be exposed by
following the advice for the recently added
useless-autoreconf-build-depends tag. (Closes: #869541)
* checks/debian-readme.{pm,desc}:
+ [CL] Ensure readme-debian-contains-debmake-template also checks
for templates "Automatically generated by debmake".
* checks/description.{desc,pm}:
+ [CL] Clarify explanation of description-starts-with-leading-spaces
tag. Thanks to Taylor Kline <taylor.kline at utexas.edu> for the report
and patch. (Closes: #849622)
+ [NT] Skip capitalization-error-in-description-synopsis for
auto-generated packages (such as dbgsym packages).
* checks/fields.{desc,pm}:

+ [CL] Check for packages including "?rev=0&sc=0" in Vcs-Browser.
(Closes: #681713)
+ [NT] Transitional packages should now be "oldlibs/optional" rather
than "oldlibs/extra". The related tag has been renamed accordingly.
* checks/filename-length.pm:
+ [NT] Skip the check on auto-generated binary packages (such as
dbgsym packages).
* checks/files.{pm,desc}:
+ [BR] Avoid privacy-breach-generic false positives for legal.xml.
+ [BR] Detect install of node package under /usr/lib/nodejs/[^/]*$

development/testing workflow less error-prone.
* private/generate-tag-summary:
+ [CL] git-describe(1) will usually emit 7 hexadecimal digits as the
abbreviated object name, However, as this can be user-dependent,
pass --abbrev=0 to ensure it does not vary between systems. This
also means we do not need to strip it ourselves.
