Binary package hint: lintian

Debian has a new version to be merged.

 lintian  (2.1.3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Summary of tag changes:
     + Added
       - debian-watch-file-should-use-sf-redirector
       - debian-watch-file-specifies-wrong-upstream-version
       - debian-watch-file-specifies-old-upstream-version
       - extended-description-is-probably-too-short
       - shlib-without-versioned-soname
 
   * checks/description{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Check for extended descriptions shorter than three lines; they
       probably don't contain enough information.  Patch from Raphael
       Geissert.
   * checks/files{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Exclude __init__.py files and Doxygen-generated *.map files
       from zero-byte-file-in-doc-directory.  Improve the tag description
       to add a rationale and a suggestion for when overrides are
       appropriate.  Lower the certainty to possible.  (Closes: #507273)
     + [RA] Move the check for override files in the wrong location so that
       the check for subdirectories of /usr/share/lintian/overrides works
       and improve the tag description.
   * checks/nmu:
     + [RA] Recognize Ubuntu native packages by the target distribution and
       suppress NMU tags for them.  Based on a patch by Adrien Cunin.
       (Closes: #507740)
   * checks/shared-libs{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Remove special shlibs exception for NSS modules.  libc6 now
       includes shlibs entries for them.
     + [RA] Report a more specialized tag for shared libraries with SONAMEs
       that have no version and exclude them from the shlibs file tests
       since they cannot be represented there.  Reported by Raphael
       Hertzog.  (Closes: #506673)
     + [RA] Use the same regexes as dpkg-shlibdeps when parsing version
       information from SONAMEs.
   * checks/version-substvars:
     + [RA] Skip version substvar checks when the dependency is on a
       package whose name is formed by expanding substvars at build time.
       Thanks, Bastian Blank.  (Closes: #507763)
   * checks/watch-file{,.desc}:
     + [RA] Merge a set of changes by Raphael Geissert:
       - Correctly parse multiple line continuations.
       - Don't attempt any detailed checks on version one watch files.
       - Recognize versionmangle in addition to [du]versionmangle.
       - Add line information to some of the tags.
       - Detect watch files that specify SourceForge download servers
         directly and suggest use of the QA sf.net redirector instead.
       - Detect watch files specifying an upstream version that matches a
         non-native Debian package version in debian/changelog.
       - Detect watch files specifying an upstream version for an older
         changelog entry when the current changelog entry has a newer
         upstream version.
 
   * data/changelog-file/ubuntu-dists:
     + [RA] New shared list of Ubuntu distributions.
 
   * frontend/lintian:
     + [RA] Recognize Ubuntu native packages by the target distribution and
       check them against the correct set of distributions.  Based on a
       patch by Adrien Cunin.  (Closes: #507740)
 
   * lib/Lab.pm:
     + [ADB] Ensure that the output of unpack/list-*pkg is correctly captured
       so that the reporting harness can use the information to decide which
       packages to process in an incremental run.
   * lib/Lintian/Data.pm:
     + [RA] New all() method that returns all valid keywords.
   * lib/Read_pkglists.pm:
     + [JP] Add a new "source version" field to binary and udeb info files.
       Bump binary and udeb format version to 3 and 2 respectively.
 
   * reporting/html_reports:
     + [JP] Group packages by source version instead of binary version.
       (Closes: #507849)
   * reporting/templates/maintainer.tmpl:
     + [ADB] Print tags affecting udeb packages under a heading for that
       package, rather than merging them in to whichever binary package
       was last displayed (or the source package if the udeb is first
       alphabetically).
     + [ADB] Separate tags affecting a binary package from those of a source
       package with the same name when the binary is the first package produced
       from the source for which there are issues.
     + [JP] Include binary package version in subtitles when it isn't the same
       as the source version.
 
   * t/runtests:
     + [RA] Parameterize the package section in the skeleton.
 
   * unpack/list-{bin,udeb}pkg:
     + [JP] Extract source package version from source field.
