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: 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.

A copyright notice N: must consist of Copyright, Copr., or the Unicode symbol of C in a circle N: followed by the years and the copyright holder. A copyright notice is N: not required for a work to be copyrighted, but Debian requires the N: copyright file include the authors and years of copyright, and including N: a valid copyright notice is the best way to do that. Examples: N: N: Copyright YYYY Firstname Lastname
N: Copr. YYYY-YYYY Firstname Lastname N: © YYYY,YYYY Firstname Lastname N: N: If the package is in the public domain rather than copyrighted, be sure N: to mention "public domain" in the copyright file.
