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 extended description contains a "Homepage" pseudo-field following the old Developer's Reference recommendation. As of 1.14.6, dpkg now supports Homepage as a regular field in debian/control. This pseudo-field should be moved from the extended description to the fields for the relevant source or binary packages. Severity: warning Check: fields/description
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 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
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
The copyright file contains the incomplete Debian packaging copyright boilerplate from older versions of dh_make. (C) alone is not considered a valid copyright notice in some countries. The word Copyright or the © symbol should be used instead or in addition to (C). Copyright notices like this are, in any country that's a signatory to the Berne Convention, not required to claim copyright on a work, but their presence may allow claiming additional damages should a copyright case go to court. If you provide a notice, you may as well provide one that's legally recognized in a broader range of countries. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/copyright

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 version string in a historical changelog entry was not parsed correctly. Usually, that means it does not conform to policy. It can also happen when a package changes from native to non-native (or the other way around). Historical entries are then in a nonconforming format. As a side note, Lintian cannot tell whether a package changed from naive to non-native, or the other way around. It can only say whether the historical changelog entries comply with the current nativeness of a package. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.12 (Version) for details. Severity: warning Check: debian/changelog
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 declare a test suite. Having a test suite aids with automated quality assurance of the archive outside of your package. For example, if your package has a test suite it is possible to re-run that test suite when any of your package's dependencies have a new version and check whether that update causes problems for your package. In addition, since May 2018 these tests now influence migration from unstable to testing: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/05/msg00001.html Please add a debian/tests/control file to your package to declare a testsuite, but please make sure to only add autopkgtests if they provide meaningful coverage of your package. Refer to https://ci.debian.net/doc/ for details. Severity: info Check: testsuite
Based on the content of the maintainer and uploader fields this package is co-maintained but there are no Vcs-* fields. It is recommended that shared maintenance of packages are co-ordinated via a revision control system. Severity: pedantic Check: fields/vcs
The given field in the debian/control file contains relations that are either identical or imply each other. The less restrictive one can be removed. This is done automatically by dpkg-source and dpkg-gencontrol, so this does not affect the generated package. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/control
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
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
The debhelper compatibility version used by this package is marked as not recommended by the debhelper developer. You may consider using a recommended compatibility version. The compatibility version can be set by specifying debhelper-compat (= 12) in your package's Build-Depends, by the legacy debian/compat file or even by setting and exporting DH_COMPAT in debian/rules. If it is not set in either place, debhelper defaults to the deprecated compatibility version 1. 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. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/control
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. Refer to https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep12/ and https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata for details. Severity: pedantic Check: debian/upstream/metadata This tag is experimental. Please file a bug report if the tag seems wrong.
