[Bug 1303603] Re: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable

[Rolf Leggewie]

I think this needs further discussion, then.

Quite obviously, the current setup goes against the expectations of many
users.  I routinely run lintian from within pbuilder and that switch
isn't set (and I wonder if it should).  Looks a lot like an Ubuntuism to
me.  I don't understand why lintian on Ubuntu complains and should
continue to complain about the unstable release pocket.  Please explain
if there are valid reasons this must be so.

** Changed in: lintian (Ubuntu)
       Status: Won't Fix => Confirmed

Title:
   bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable

Status in “lintian” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  from a pbuilder run on a trusty host

  Setting up lintian (2.5.22ubuntu1) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu3) ...
  +++ lintian output +++
  E: libcapi20-3 changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file unstable

  that's pretty shocking.  The information about valid distro release
  pockets should be carved out to the distro-info package (bug 1012459)
