E: smartcardauth source: epoch-changed-but-upstream-version-did-not-go-backwards 1.0-3ubuntu5 -> 4:14.2.0~pre5-0ubuntu20.04.0+3
N: 
N:    The previous version of this package had a different version epoch to
N:    the current version but the upstream version did not go "backwards". For
N:    example, the previous package version was "1:1.0-1" and the current
N:    version is "2:2.0-1".
N:    
N:    This was likely an accidental bump or addition of an epoch.
N:    
N:    Epochs exist to cope with changes to the upstream version numbering
N:    scheme. Whilst they are a powerful tool, increasing or adding an epoch
N:    has many downsides including causing issues with versioned dependencies,
N:    being misleading to users and being aesthetically unappealing. Whilst
N:    they should be avoided, valid reasons to add or increment the epoch
N:    include:
N:    
N:     - Upstream changed their versioning scheme in a way that makes the
N:       latest version lower than the previous one.
N:     - You need to permanently revert to a lower upstream version.
N:    
N:    Temporary revertions (eg. after an NMU) should use not modify or
N:    introduce an epoch - please use the CURRENT+reallyFORMER until you can
N:    upload the latest version again.
N:    
N:    If you are unsure whether you need to increase the epoch for a package,
N:    please consult the debian-devel mailing list.

E: smartcardauth source: missing-build-dependency cdbs
N: 
N:    The package doesn't specify a build dependency on a package that is used
N:    in debian/rules.
N:    
N:    Lintian intentionally does not take into account transitive
N:    dependencies. Even if the package build-depends on some package that in
N:    turn depends on the needed package, an explicit build dependency should
N:    be added. Otherwise, a latent bug is created that will appear without
N:    warning if the other package is ever updated to change its dependencies.
N:    Even if this seems unlikely, please always add explicit build
N:    dependencies on every non-essential, non-build-essential package that is
N:    used directly during the build.
