Hello,

There is a new Debian revision:

lintian (1.23.32) unstable; urgency=low

  The "stability of output" release.

  * checks/binaries:
    + [RA] Sort the package SONAMEs to provide more stable lintian tags.
      Patch from Cyril Brulebois.  (Closes: #428681)
  * checks/files{.desc,}:
    + [RA] Limit the Zope license exception to only .dtml, .pt, and .cpt
      files.  Thanks, Bernd Zeimetz.
    + [RA] Sort the files listed in package-contains-hardlink so that the
      lintian output is stable regardless of the hash order of the
      directory when the tar file was built.
    + [RA] Don't incorrectly skip all other file location checks for hard
      links.
    + [RA] Check for files installed in /usr/lib/sgml.  This transition
      was probably completed long ago, but checking for regression can't
      hurt.  (Closes: #90019)
  * checks/manpages{.desc,}:
    + [RA] Check for dh_make man page templates (by looking for the
      template whatis entry).  Thanks, Bill Allombert.  (Closes: #173583)
  * checks/menus:
    + [RA] Avoid a quadratic search of the files in the package on
      doc-base files that list tons of files individually.  This speeds up
      a lintian check of openoffice.org-dev-doc enormously.
  * checks/po-debconf:
    + [RA] Close the template file handle between files so that the line
      numbers for translated default fields are correct.
  * checks/rules{.desc,}:
    + [RA] Check for ignoring all errors from make clean or make distclean
      and recommend skipping the call if there's no Makefile instead.
      Thanks, Branden Robinson.  (Closes: #325372)
  * checks/scripts{.desc,}:
    + [RA] Add Octave as an interpreter, and allow both versioned and
      unversioned forms.  Thanks, Sebastian Harl.  (Closes: #428403)
    + [RA] Check for deprecated install-sgmlcatalog usage.
  * checks/shared_libs:
    + [RA] Report the correct file for shlib-with-nonpic-code rather than
      the last shlib in the package.  (Closes: #429840, #429528)

  * frontend/lintian:
    + [RA] Don't require -v in order to report unused overrides; they're
      already info-level tags, which is enough hiding.
    + [RA] Remove old dead unused override code.

  * reporting/html_reports:
    + [RA] Fix a Perl warning when generating the clean maintainer pages.

  * unpack/unpack-binpkg-l1:
    + [RA] Sort the output of tar tfv by filename so that the lintian
      output will be stable regardless of the hash order of the directory
      when the tar file was built.


Ubuntu changes for the merge:

lintian (1.23.32ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    + If version contains "ubuntu", only accept Ubuntu distributions
      (#120040)
    + checks/lintian.desc: add "bad-ubuntu-distribution-in-changes-file" tag
    + checks/nmu: avoid NMU warning on Ubuntu uploads
    + frontend/lintian: check Ubuntu distribution if changelog contains "ubuntu"
    + Update Maintainer field to match Debian-Maintainer-Spec

Thanks.
