Please sync lintian 2.1.0 (main) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
Ubuntu changes have been incorporated in the Debian package.

Changelog since current jaunty version 2.0.0ubuntu1:

lintian (2.1.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * Summary of tag changes:
    + Added
      - debhelper-but-no-misc-depends
      - missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command
      - quilt-patch-missing-description
      - shlib-calls-exit

  * checks/common_data.pm:
    + [FL] New variable $known_shells_regex which matches known shell
      names.  This removes some synchronisation issues between the
      different regexes in use.
  * checks/debconf{,.desc}:
    + [CW] Update my e-mail address.
    + [ADB] Don't detect the use of "?" as a literal character or wildcard
      as part of a question in an extended template description.  Based
      on a patch by Stephen Gran.  (Closes: #500661)
  * checks/debhelper:
    + [FL] Use Lintian::Data for list of debhelper commands that modify
      maintainer scripts.  Patch by Raphael Geissert.
    + [FL] Add new tag missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command for
      debhelper commands that are not from the debhelper package.
      Patch by Raphael Geissert.
    + [FL] Add new tag debhelper-but-no-misc-depends which warns
      about missing misc:Depends if you use commands that might
      set it.  Patch by Raphael Geissert.  (Closes: #499737)
  * checks/fields:
    + [ADB] Ignore non-dependency fields when considering whether a
      versioned dependency is satisfied by the perl core packages.
      Based on a patch by Niko Tyni.  (Closes: #500720)
    + [RA] Stop checking for a libmodule-build-perl build dependency since
      Module::Build now comes with Perl.  Thanks, Raphael Hertzog.
      (Closes: #506697)
  * checks/files:
    + [ADB] Apply patches from Raphael Geissert to update the list of
      embedded PHP libraries:
      - Add detection for the Snoopy and GeSHi libraries and the use of
        phpmailer.inc (rather than .php).
      - Enable the libmarkdown-php check, as the package is now in unstable.
      - Add support for the (not currently packaged and thus disabled) IXR
        and kses libraries.
  * checks/infofiles:
    + [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
  * checks/menus:
    + [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
  * checks/patch-systems{,.desc}:
    + [ADB] Don't include dpatch comment lines containing no content
      when determining whether the patch includes a description.
      (Closes: #503695)
    + [ADB] Add missing "diffstat" to the Needs-Info field.
    + [ADB] Check whether quilt patches include a description.
      (Closes: #498892)
  * check/scripts:
    + [FL] Use $known_shells_regex from common_data.
    + [FL] Add icmake as a known interpreter as requested by
      Frank B. Brokken.  (Closes: #505868)
  * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
    + [ADB] Don't issue both symbols-file-contains-debian-revision and
      symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision for any
      given symbol, as the latter implies the former and may thus create
      noise in the tests' output.  (Closes: #505826)
    + [ADB] Add an experimental tag flagging shared libraries that call
      _exit() or exit() without at some point calling fork() (a somewhat
      inaccurate heuristic, but one which should weed out a number of
      false positives).  (Closes: #504257)

  * collection/objdump-info:
    + [ADB] Only use readelf to emulate objdump if objdump returned "file
      format not recognized".  In cases where the objdump output was "invalid
      operation", the output of etch's readelf is not particularly useful
      and it's easier to simply let the checks scripts handle the objdump
      output.

  * debian/control:
    + [FL] Add dependency on libipc-run-perl for Lintian::Command.

  * doc/lintian.sgml:
    + [ADB] Correct a few typos in the "overrides" section.

  * frontend/lintian:
    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
    + [CW] Add jaunty as an allowable distribution for Ubuntu, and remove
      the EOLed edgy and feisty.
    + [ADB] Don't complain about unused overrides if the check script
      for the overriden tag hasn't been run (or --tags was used and
      the overriden tag not specified).  (Closes: #501722)

  * lib/Lintian/Output:
    + [FL] New module to bundle output methods.
  * lib/Tags/{ColonSeparated,LetterQualifier}.pm:
    + [FL] Move to lib/Lintian/Output and convert to subclasses of
      Lintian::Output.
  * lib/Lintian/Output/XML.pm:
    + [FL] New experimental output format.
  * lib/Lintian/Command:
    + [FL] New utility module as a replacement for Pipeline. Provides
      a convenient wrapper around IPC::Run.

  * lib/Lab.pm:
    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
  * lib/Tags.pm:
    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
  * lib/Pipeline.pm:
    + [FL] Remove, replaced by Lintian::Command.
  * lib/Spelling.pm:
    + [RA] Add subversion to Subversion correction for package descriptions.
      Thanks, Sandro Tosi.  (Closes: #506793)
    + [ADB] Don't check text contained within square brackets for
      capitalisation mistakes.  This allows for lists such as "[ cvs |
      subversion ]" to be included.
  * lib/Util.pm:
    + [FL] Convert to use Lintian::Output.
    + [FL] Add some new utility functions: delete_dir copy_dir gunzip_file
      touch_file.

  * private/refresh-debhelper-data:
    + [FL] New script to update debhelper related data by Raphael Geissert.
      - data/debhelper/miscDepends_commands: debhelper commands that set
         misc:Depends
      - data/debhelper/maint_commands: debhelper commands that edit
         maintainer scripts
      - data/debhelper/dh_packages: packages that contain debhelper commands
      - data/debhelper/dh_commands: mapping of debhelper commands to
         packages they are contained in

  * testset/{diffs,filenames}:
    + [ADB] Generate the files "files/'\ " and "filenames.c~" at build time 
      instead of including it in the source package, to allow lintian to be
      imported in to Bazaar.
