+ [ADB] Replace the {config,postinst}-loads-obsolete-confmodule tags
with a new loads-obsolete-confmodule test which is used for all
maintainer scripts and outputs the script name as part of its extra data.
* checks/description{,.desc}:
+ [RA] Warn about duplicated words in the description. Patch from
Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #424746)
* checks/fields{,.desc}:
+ [FL] Do not complain about obsolete packages if there are

but the prerm doesn't remove them. (Closes: #182512)
+ [ADB] Treat --remove-exactly as indicating removal of an info directory

* checks/menus{,.desc}:
+ [ADB] Check that menu-method files include menu.h (Closes: #184104)

quilt patches when using the 3.0 (quilt) package format. Fix build
dependency checking and check all dpatch files. Patch from Raphaël
Hertzog. (Closes: #484549)
+ [ADB] Treat 00list* as dpatch series files rather than just 00list.

* checks/scripts:
+ [FL] Apply File::Spec->canonpath() to rpaths to improve
matching with directories.

positives. Downgrades #485885 to wishlist. Also see
#175467. Patch by Raphael Geissert.
+ [FL] Remove "quoted quotes". They're likely to be inside
another pair of quotes; we're not interested in
them for their own sake and removing them makes finding
the limits of the outer pair far easier. Patch by
Adam D. Barratt.
+ [FL] Improve heredoc detection. Patch by Adam D. Barratt.
+ [FL] Improve script_is_evil_and_wrong() to catch more scripts.

(Closes: #452216)
+ [ADB] Check symbols files for dependencies that are not satisfied by
the package itself (Closes: #461575)
* checks/standards-version{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Only issue out-of-date-standards-version once. Noticed by
Raphael Geissert.
+ [RA] Base the two-year clock for ancient-standards-version on when
the Policy version was superseded, not when it was issued. Thanks,
Scott Kitterman. (Closes: #487780)
+ [RA] Warn for packages declaring a standards version released after
the date of the most recent changelog entry. Based on a patch by
Raphael Geissert.
* checks/watch-file{,.desc}:
+ [FL] Check for more Debian specific strings in version
number. Issue an info tag if the watch file uses
uversionsmangle to add the Debian specific string. Patch
by Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #485879)
+ [RA] Warn about watch files in native packages and check those watch
files for other problems anyway. Allow whitespace around the
version declaration. More correctly handle continuation lines.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.
+ [RA] Check for using the Sourceforge QA redirector with deprecated
arguments. Patch from Raphael Geissert.
+ [RA] Be more explicit when warning about missing watch files that
Lintian recommends adding a watch file containing only comments for
any non-native package where it's not possible to write a meaningful
watch file, not only for packages unmaintained upstream.
* collection/objdump-info:
+ [ADB] If objdump from binutils 2.17 fails to parse a file then
attempt to gather the required information using readelf instead.
This allows us to process 64-bit packages on etch/i386 again
(i.e. on lintian.d.o) (Closes: #487746)
* data/fields/obsolete-packages:
+ [RA] mailx is not obsolete. It's a virtual package. Thanks, martin
f krafft. (Closes: #488114)
+ [RA] Add the cupsys packages, all of which have been renamed to cups.
Patch from Raphael Geissert.

+ [FL] Adapt VCS-* headers for move from SVN to git.
* debian/copyright:
+ [FL] Add Patrick Schoenfeld (for checks/watch-file).
+ [ADB] Update repository information and GPL2 URL.
+ [RA] Add Adam D. Barratt to the maintainer list so that readers can
expand initials in the changelog.
* debian/{prerm,postrm}:
+ [RA] Move prerm to postrm and remove the default /var/spool/lintian
lab using shell instead of lintian. We only want to remove the lab
on purge, and purge is only passed to postrm, not prerm, by which
point the lintian frontend is gone. (Closes: #489860)
* doc/CREDITS:
+ [FL] Add Raphael Geissert and Adam D. Barratt.
* doc/lintian.sgml:
+ [ADB] Add reference to new option to display experimental tags.
* frontend/lintian:
+ [ADB] Add a new --show-experimental / -E option which indicates
that experimental tags should be displayed.
+ [RA] Exit with the correct exit status if no packages were found
because non-existent packages were specified on the command line.
* lib/Lintian/Collect/Binary.pm:
+ [FL] Add support for file-info file.
+ [FL] Add support for objdump-info file.
* lib/Spelling.pm:
+ [RA] Add a couple more spelling corrections and capitalization
checks for LaTeX and TeX. Thanks, Raphael Geissert.
* lib/Tags.pm:
+ [ADB] (Re-)Add support for experimental tags.
* man/lintian.1:
+ [FL] Document watch-file check.
+ [ADB] Document new option to display experimental tags.
+ [RA] Refer to lintian-info(1) for printing tag descriptions. Patch
from Chris Lamb. (Closes: #490374)
* reporting/harness:
+ [ADB] Process packages using -E so that experimental tags are included.
* reporting/html_reports:
+ [FL] Mark the tag pages with the correct code.
* reporting/lintian.css:
+ [RA] New style for marking packages that override a tag on the tag
summary page. Patch from Jordà Polo.
* reporting/templates/clean.tmpl:
+ [ADB] Note that the full report includes experimental tags.
* reporting/templates/tag.tmpl:
+ [FL] Mark overridden tags.
+ [RA] Mark packages that override all instances of a given tag.
Patch from Jordà Polo.
* reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
+ [FL] Add useful links for each source package.
With layout help by Jordà Polo.
+ [FL] Include Co-maintained packages in the summary
at the top of the page. Also sort the list. Patch
by Jordà Polo.
+ [ADB] Note that the full report includes experimental tags.
* testset/runtests:
+ [ADB] Support experimental tags
