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.

hardening-no-bindnow
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.

Description Powerful and easy to use desktop calculator - TDE version Qalculate! is small and simple to use but with much power and versatility underneath. Features include customizable functions, units, arbitrary precision, plotting, and a graphical interface that uses a one-line fault-tolerant expression entry (although it supports optional traditional buttons). . This package contains the TDE user interface of qalculate.

epoch-changed-but-upstream-version-did-not-go-backwards
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.

When you NMU a package, that fact should be mentioned on the first

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

debian-watch-file-is-missing
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.

This package uses a debhelper compatibility level that is no longer

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.

silent-on-rules-requiring-root
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
