The copyright file refers to the versionless symlink in /usr/share/common-licenses for the full text of the GPL, LGPL, or GFDL license, but the package does not appear to allow distribution under later versions of the license. This symlink will change with each release of a new version of the license and may therefore point to a different version than the package is released under. debian/copyright should instead refers to the specific version of the license that the package references. For example, if the package says something like "you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; version 2 dated June, 1991," the debian/copyright file should refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2, not /GPL. Severity: warning Check: debian/copyright
The copyright file for this package does not appear to contain a copyright notice. You should copy the copyright notice from the upstream source (or add one of your own for a native package). A copyright notice must consist of Copyright, Copr., or the Unicode symbol of C in a circle followed by the years and the copyright holder. A copyright notice is not required for a work to be copyrighted, but Debian requires the copyright file include the authors and years of copyright, and including a valid copyright notice is the best way to do that. Examples: Copyright YYYY Firstname Lastname <address@example.com> Copr. YYYY-YYYY Firstname Lastname <address@example.com> © YYYY,YYYY Firstname Lastname <address@example.com> If the package is in the public domain rather than copyrighted, be sure to mention "public domain" in the copyright file. Please be aware that this is very rare and not the same as a DFSG-free license. True public domain software is generally limited to such special cases as a work product of a United States government agency. Refer to https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html for details.

This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the "read-only relocation" link flag. This package was likely not built with the default Debian compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using dpkg-buildflags directly, be sure to import LDFLAGS. Refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details. Severity: warning Check: binaries
The menu item has a line that specifies an unknown section or uses a section that is intended only as a menu root, not as a section that applications should use directly. Check the spelling of the section and check the section against the list in the menu policy. (The menu sections changed as of June of 2007.) Refer to The Debian Menu sub-policy section 2.1 (Preferred menu structure) for details. Severity: warning Check: menu-format
The menu item has a line that specifies a section under "Apps". This section has been moved to "Applications". Refer to The Debian Menu sub-policy section 2.1 (Preferred menu structure) for details. Severity: warning Check: menu-format
The package declares a relationship with itself. This is not very useful except in the case of a package Conflicting with itself if its package name doubles as a virtual package. Severity: warning Check: fields/package-relations
See the Policy Manual for a list of the possible fields in a package control files.

The "Section:" field in this package's control file is not one of the sections in use on the ftp archive. Valid sections are currently admin, comm, cli-mono, database, debug, devel, doc, editors, electronics, embedded, fonts, games, gnome, gnu-r, gnustep, graphics, hamradio, haskell, httpd, interpreters, java, javascript, kde, libdevel, libs, lisp, localization, kernel, mail, math, misc, net, news, ocaml, oldlibs, otherosfs, perl, php, python, ruby, rust, science, shells, sound, tex, text, utils, vcs, video, web, x11, xfce, zope. The section name should be preceded by "non-free/" if the package is in the non-free archive area, and by "contrib/" if the package is in the contrib archive area. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 2.4 (Sections) for details. Severity: warning Check: fields/section
This package has no Homepage field but has a URL in the description and wording that might indicate this is the package Homepage. If it is, add a Homepage control field containing it rather than mentioning it in the package description. Severity: info Check: fields/description
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. Refer to https://wiki.debian.org/Hardening for details. Severity: info Check: binaries
This package provides an ELF binary that lacks the use of fortified libc functions. Either there are no potentially unfortified functions called by any routines, all unfortified calls have already been fully validated at compile-time, or the package was not built with the default Debian compiler flags defined by dpkg-buildflags. If built using dpkg-buildflags directly, be sure to import CPPFLAGS. NB: Due to false-positives, Lintian ignores some unprotected functions (e.g. memcpy).

The previous version of this package had a different version epoch to the current version but the upstream version did not go "backwards". For example, the previous package version was "1:1.0-1" and the current version is "2:2.0-1". This was likely an accidental bump or addition of an epoch. Epochs exist to cope with changes to the upstream version numbering scheme. Whilst they are a powerful tool, increasing or adding an epoch has many downsides including causing issues with versioned dependencies, being misleading to users and being aesthetically unappealing. Whilst they should be avoided, valid reasons to add or increment the epoch include: - Upstream changed their versioning scheme in a way that makes the latest version lower than the previous one. - You need to permanently revert to a lower upstream version. Temporary revertions (eg. after an NMU) should use not modify or introduce an epoch - please use the CURRENT+reallyFORMER until you can upload the latest version again. If you are unsure whether you need to increase the epoch for a package, please consult the debian-devel mailing list. Severity: error Check: debian/changelog
The package doesn't specify a build dependency on a package that is used in debian/rules. Lintian intentionally does not take into account transitive dependencies. Even if the package build-depends on some package that in turn depends on the needed package, an explicit build dependency should be added. Otherwise, a latent bug is created that will appear without warning if the other package is ever updated to change its dependencies. Even if this seems unlikely, please always add explicit build dependencies on every non-essential, non-build-essential package that is used directly during the build. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.2 (Package relationships) for details. Severity: error Check: debian/rules
The source package refers to a Standards-Version that has been obsolete for more than two years. Please update your package to latest Policy and set 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. Refer to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html for details. Severity: warning Check: fields/standards-version
The version number of your source package ends in +b and a number or has a Debian revision containing three parts. These version numbers are used by binary NMUs and should not be used as the source version. (The +b form is the current standard; the three-part version number now obsolete.) Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 5.10.2.1 (Recompilation or binary-only NMU) for details. Severity: warning Check: fields/version
The source package uses debhelper, but it does not include
${misc:Depends} in the given binary package's debian/control entry.
Any debhelper command may add dependencies to ${misc:Depends} that are
required for the work that it does, so recommended best practice is to
always add ${misc:Depends} to the dependencies of each binary package
if debhelper is in use.
Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

The previous version of this package had a different version epoch (eg. 2:1.0-1) to the current version but there's no reference to this in the changelog entry. Epochs exist to cope with changes to the upstream version numbering scheme. Whilst they are a powerful tool, increasing or adding an epoch has many downsides including causing issues with versioned dependencies, being misleading to users and being aesthetically unappealing. Whilst they should be avoided, valid reasons to add or increment the epoch include: - Upstream changed their versioning scheme in a way that makes the latest version lower than the previous one. - You need to permanently revert to a lower upstream version. Temporary revertions (eg. after an NMU) should use not modify or introduce an epoch - please use the CURRENT+reallyFORMER until you can upload the latest version again. If you are unsure whether you need to increase the epoch for a package, please consult the debian-devel mailing list. Lintian looks in this version's changelog entry for the phrase "epoch". Severity: warning Check: debian/changelog
When you NMU a package, that fact should be mentioned on the first line in the changelog entry. Use the words "NMU" or "Non-maintainer upload" (case insensitive). Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line of the changelog entry. Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 5.11.3 (Using the DELAYED/ queue) for details. Severity: warning Check: nmu Renamed from: changelog-should-mention-nmu
A source NMU should have a Debian revision of "-x.x" (or "+nmuX" for a native package). This is to prevent stealing version numbers from the maintainer. Maybe you didn't intend this upload to be a NMU, in that case, please double-check that the most recent entry in the changelog is byte-for-byte identical to the maintainer or one of the uploaders. If this is a local package (not intended for Debian), you can suppress this warning by putting "local" in the version number or "local package" on the first line of the changelog entry.

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. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.11 (Optional upstream source location: debian/watch) and the uscan(1) manual page for details. Severity: info 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. Severity: info Check: debian/rules/dh-sequencer
This package does not use a machine-readable debian/copyright file. This format makes it easier to review licenses and can be easily parsed by Lintian. Refer to https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ for details. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright/dep5
This non-native package lacks a Homepage field. If the package has an upstream home page that contains useful information or resources for the end user, consider adding a Homepage control field to debian/control. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.23 (Homepage) for details. Severity: pedantic Check: fields/homepage
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. Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details. Severity: pedantic Check: debhelper
The debian/control file is missing an explicit Rules-Requires-Root field. Traditionally, Debian packages have required root privileges for some debian/rules target requiring a split between build and binary targets. This makes the builds slower due to the increased amount of invocations as well as the overhead of fakeroot itself. Please specify (eg.) Rules-Requires-Root: no in the debian/control source stanza, but packagers should verify using diffoscope(1) that the binaries built with this field present are identical. Refer to /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/rootless-builds.txt.gz, Debian Policy Manual section 4.9.2 (debian/rules and Rules-Requires-Root), and Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.31 (Rules-Requires-Root) for details.

This source package is not Debian-native but it does not have a debian/upstream/metadata file. The Upstream MEtadata GAthered with YAml (UMEGAYA) project is an effort to collect meta-information about upstream projects from any source package. This file is in YAML format and it is used in to feed the data in the UltimateDebianDatabase. 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.
