lintian (2.2.13) unstable; urgency=low

  The "triggerized install-info" release.

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added:
      - install-info-used-in-maintainer-script
      - package-contains-info-dir-file
    + Removed:
      - info-documents-not-removed
      - install-info-not-called-with-quiet-option
      - missing-comma-after-substvar
      - postrm-calls-install-info
      - preinst-calls-install-info

  * checks/control-file{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Rework missing-separator-between-lines to only include two
      specific package stanzas in the extra tag data and not include
      newlines.  Generalize it to also detect missing commas between
      substvars, replacing missing-comma-after-substvar.
  * checks/cruft{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Don't warn about outdated libtool if the package build-depends
      on libtool.  Thanks, Kurt Roeckx.  (Closes: #534134)
    + [RA] Fix typo in *-contains-ht-tags-file description.  Patch from
      Peter Pentchev.  (Closes: #534218)
  * checks/fields:
    + [ADB] If the Debian r-cran makefile include is used in the rules file,
      cdbs, debhelper and r-base-dev are required in Build-Depends.  Thanks,
      Charles Plessy.  (Closes: #534684)
    + [RA] Allow variable settings before ant, dpatch, and dh when
      checking debian/rules for dependencies.  Thanks, Ryan Niebur.
      (Closes: #535432)
  * checks/files{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Allow non-core Python packages to install files into
      /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages, the extension location for Python
      2.6 and later.  Thanks, Julian Andres Klode.  (Closes: #534212)
    + [RA] Check for /usr/share/info/dir files included in the package.
      Thanks, Bas Zoetekouw.  (Closes: #535566)
  * checks/infofiles{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Ignore dir files; they're a different error that's now caught
      by checks/files.
    + [RA] Remove all checking of maintainer scripts, since info dir
      entries are now handled with triggers.  Now always warn of info
      files without INFO-DIR-SECTION, even if install-info were called
      with a --section argument.  Warn of info files without a DIR-ENTRY
      section.  Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog.  (Closes: #534640)
    + [RA] Fix a bug in the detection of bad info file extensions that
      missed extensions containing the string "info".
    + [RA] Improve the long descriptions of tags about compression of info
      documents.
  * checks/init.d:
    + [RA] Take into account dangling symlinks in /etc/init.d.  Patch from
      Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #534139)
    + [RA] Don't require symlink init scripts to be conffiles and realize
      they are included in the package even if the symlink is dangling.
      Thanks, Steve Langasek.  (Closes: #534326)
  * checks/manpages:
    + [RA] Don't warn about hyphens used as minus signs inside draft mode,
      since \- cannot be used there.  Based on a patch by Gennaro Oliva.
      (Closes: #535308)
  * checks/patch-systems:
    + [RA] Don't include the package name as extra data in tags that are
      only issued for source packages.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
  * checks/scripts{,.desc}:
    + [RA] Lower certainty of read-in-maintainer-script to possible and
      mention false positives.  Thanks, Raphaël Hertzog.  (Closes: #534276)

      Geissert and Ryan Niebur.
    + [RA] Avoid a false positive in the bashism check for trap with
      signal numbers when the the trap command contains a number.  Thanks,
      Julien Cristau.  (Closes: #534580)

    + [ADB] Handle the fact that, when Lintian is run as root, the output of

      Thanks, Peter Pentchev.  (Closes: #533618)

  * lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
    + [RA] Increment the package list format and expect the archive area
      as an additional argument.  Patch from Raphael Geissert.
  * lib/Spelling.pm:
    + [RA] Add changes misspelling.
    + [RA] Fix correction for endianness.  Thanks, Raphael Geissert.
      (Closes: #535582)
    + [RA] Only strip most punctuation from the end of each word, not from
      anywhere in the string.  We don't want to strip the period from
      res.size.  Thanks, Zack Weinberg.  (Closes: #534234)
  * lib/Tags.pm:
