This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "bindnow" linker flag. This is needed (together with "relro") to make the "Global Offset Table" (GOT) fully read-only. The bindnow feature trades startup time for improved security. Please consider enabling this feature or consider overriding the tag (possibly with a comment about why). If you use dpkg-buildflags, you may have to add hardening=+bindnow or hardening=+all to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS. The relevant compiler flags are set in LDFLAGS.

Your package specifies the named override but there were no tags that could have been silenced by it. Maybe you fixed an underlying condition but forgot to remove the override. It is also possible that the Lintian maintainers fixed a false positive. If the override is now unused, please remove it. This tag is similar to mismatched-override except there a tag could have been silenced if the context had matched. Sometimes, overrides end up not being used because a tag appears only on some architectures. In that case, overrides can be equipped with an architecture qualifier. Please refer to Lintian User's Manual section 2.4.3 for details. Visibility: info Show-Always: yes Check: lintian
The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL license. This symlink is updated to point to the latest version of the license when a new one is released. The package appears to allow relicensing under later versions of its license, so this is legally consistent, but it implies that Debian will relicense the package under later versions of those licenses as they're released. It is normally better to point to the version of the license the package references in its license statement. For example, if the package says something like "you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version", the debian/copyright file should refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL. For packages released under the same terms as Perl, Perl references the GPL version 1, so point to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-1. Visibility: pedantic Show-Always: no Check: debian/copyright
This package contains a binary in $PATH but is in a section just thought for libraries. It likely should be in another section like e.g. utils, text, devel, misc, etc., but not in e.g. perl, ruby or python. People tend to skip these package sections when looking for applications in the package list and hence wouldn't notice this package. In case the program in $PATH is only a helper tool and the package is primarily a library, please add a Lintian override for this tag. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: application-not-library This tag is experimental.
This package contains a program in $PATH but is named like a library. E.g. instead of libfoo-bar-perl it should be named just foo-bar. People tend to skip library-like named packages when looking for applications in the package list and hence wouldn't notice this package. See the reference for some (not perl-specific) reasoning. In case the program in $PATH is only a helper tool and the package is primarily a library, please add a Lintian override for this tag.

The binary or shared library sets RPATH or RUNPATH. This overrides the normal library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and causing problems for multilib, among other issues. The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should set RPATH or RUNPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the same package. In that case, place those private shared libraries in /usr/lib/*package*. Libraries used by binaries in other packages should be placed in /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate, with a proper SONAME, in which case RPATH/RUNPATH is unnecessary. To fix this problem, look for link lines like: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib or gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib and remove the -Wl,--rpath or -R argument. You can also use the chrpath utility to remove the RPATH. Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue for details.

A field in debian/control has an extension prefix but is also known without it. Extension prefixes like XS-* or XC-* allow experimental fields to propagate to the right place when packages are built with dpkg. In this case, however, the field is also known without the prefix. In all likelihood the field was permanently adopted, and dpkg learned how to deal with it. Please consider removing the extension prefix for the field name.

This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a debian/watch file. This file is used for automatic detection of new upstream versions by the Debian External Health Status project and other project infrastructure. If this package is maintained upstream, please consider adding a debian/watch file to detect new releases. If the package is not maintained upstream or if upstream uses a distribution mechanism that cannot be meaningfully monitored by uscan and the Debian External Health Status project, please consider adding a debian/watch file containing only comments documenting the situation. Please refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.11 and the uscan(1) manual page for details. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: debian/watch
This package does not use the dh sequencer in debian/rules. While maintainers may use a variety of build systems, this one is by far the most popular. Maintainers are strongly encouraged to use the dh sequencer in new packages and convert existing ones when appropriate. Visibility: info Show-Always: no Check: debian/rules/dh-sequencer
The source package refers to a Standards-Version older than the one that was current at the time the package was created (according to the timestamp of the latest debian/changelog entry). Please consider updating the package to current Policy and setting this control field appropriately. If the package is already compliant with the current standards, you don't have to re-upload the package just to adjust the Standards-Version control field. However, please remember to update this field next time you upload the package. See /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.txt.gz in the debian-policy package for a summary of changes in newer versions of Policy.

This non-native package lacks a Homepage field.

This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer recommended. Please consider using the recommended level. For most packages, the best way to set the compatibility level is to specify debhelper-compat (= X) as a Build-Depends in debian/control. You can also use the debian/compat file or export DH_COMPAT in debian/rules. If no level is selected debhelper defaults to level 1, which is deprecated. Please refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details. Visibility: pedantic Show-Always: no Check: debhelper
The field Rules-Requires-Root is missing from the file debian/control. Over time, Debian has sucessively narrowed the steps for which elevated privileges are required. It speeds up the building of installation packages in the archive. Eventually, Debian will switch the default archive-wide behaviour to expedite the build process further. Please declare explicitly that the sources do not require root privileges. You can use the setting Rules-Requires-Root: no in the source stanza of debian/control, but please verify with diffoscope(1) that the installation packages produced are in fact identical. Please refer to /usr/share/doc/dpkg/rootless-builds.txt.gz, Debian Policy Manual section 4.9.2, and Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.31 for details.

This file contains lines with trailing whitespace characters.
Whilst often harmless and unsightly, such extra whitespaces can also cause
tools to interpret the whitespace characters literally. The tool diff(1)
does not like them, either. They are best avoided.
Some of these problems can be hard to track down.
Whitespace at the end of lines may be removed with the following:
$ sed -i -e 's@[[:space:]]*$@@g' debian/control debian/changelog
If you use Emacs, you can also use "M-x wh-cl" (whitespace-cleanup).
However, if you wish to only remove trailing spaces and leave trailing
tabs (eg. for Makefiles), you can use the following code snippet:
$ sed -i -e 's@[ ]*$@@g' debian/rules
To remove empty lines from the end of a file, you can use:
$ sed -i -e :a -e '/^\n*$/{$d;N;};/\n$/ba' debian/rules

This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a debian/upstream/metadata file.

For example, it can contains the way the authors want their software be cited in publications and some bibliographic references about the software. Please add a debian/upstream/metadata file.
